Opis

In the recent years, the environmental contamination caused by excessive use of chemical pesticides increased the interest in integrated pest management, where chemical pesticides are substituted by bio-pesticides to control plant pests and plant diseases. Hence, biological control strategy is highly compatible with sustainable agriculture and has a major role to play as a component of integrated pest management (IPM) programme. Large scale production, along with shelf life and establishment of bioagents in targeted niche, determine the success of biological control. Therefore, cost effective large scale production, shelf life of formulation, establishment of bioagent in to targeted niche and consistency in disease control are the primary concern with augmentative biological control. Adaptation of technology in the biocontrol arsenal needs to be investigated. Development of acceptable easily prepared and cost effective formulations for delivery should be major goal.
