Background For controlling the resistance to insects, in particular carpophagous and
phyllophagous caterpillars, using chemical pesticides has led to contamination of cotton …

The use of entomopathogenic fungi (EPF) like Beauveria, Metarhizium, Lecanicillium, and
Isaria is upsurging in recent years for the management of crop insect pests. EPF are …

In ecosystems, a variety of biological, chemical and physical stressors may act in
combination to induce illness in populations of living organisms. While recent surveys …

Insect pests have remarkable capacity to develop resistance to insecticides. More than 600
species of plant feeding insect pests have developed resistance to insecticides …

Investigations were carried out to evaluate influence of some selective insecticides on
