Opis

- Insect pests play an important role in crop losses and developed resistance to insecticides.- Plant self defense can be exploited to curb the pest menace.- Identification of specific targets of insecticidal plant proteins can helps better transgenic crop development.- Combining of broad insecticidal activity plant proteins into a variety have a greater scope.- Application of insecticidal plant protein in pest management along with other management activities helps to reduce the cost of production and environmental pollution due to insecticides .- Insecticidal plant proteins can be fit in IPM in the future.
