LUBILOSA
LUBILOSA was the name of a research programme that aimed at developing a biological alternative to the chemical control of locusts. This name is an acronym of the French title of the programme: Lutte Biologique contre les Locustes et les Sauteriaux ( biological control of locusts and grasshoppers). During its 13-year life (November 1989 to December 2002), the programme identified an isolate of Metarhizium fungus virulent to locusts and went through all the necessary steps to develop the commercial biopesticide product 'Green Muscle' based on its spores.
