1. The study tested the effectiveness of supernatant from the fungus Metharhizium anisopliae in eliminating the termite species Coptotermes curvignathus, which damages Para rubber crops in Thailand. 2. The results showed that the supernatant was just as effective at eliminating termites as the fungal spores themselves in a short period of time. 3. Using the supernatant could help control termite damage to Para rubber with less environmental pollution than chemical pesticides.
