Why are fungal insecticides an attractive alternative to chemical pesticides for growing food crops? a. Human consumption of fungal insecticides would not make a person sick, but ingestion of chemical pesticides can be harmful to humans. b. A single fungal insecticide would kill a wider variety of insects than a chemical pesticide. c. Fungal insecticides can eliminate both harmful insects and plant pathogens, while chemical pesticides only kill insects. d. Fungal insecticides will decompose dying plants, enhancing the nitrogen content of the soil, while chemical pesticides are not decomposers.
