Fungus-farming termites can protect their crop by confining weeds with fungistatic soil boluses The symbiotic agriculture of fungus-farming termites can collapse if they fail to prevent invading weeds. Previous studies suggest a role for symbiotic fungistatic microbes in bringing about weed cont...

I just love that our civilization is capable of being curious about termite fungus farming and pest control behavior.

They use soil balls to contain contamination of their crop, which also happens to carry fungistatic bacteria.
