Primary tabs

IIHR has   developed  a biological control strategy for management of Helopeltis antonii infesting Guava by using  fungal pathogen Beauveria bassiana.  Weekly spraying of this bio- pesticide @ 1x109 spores/ml with suitable adjuvants  recorded significant reduction in the pest damage that was comparable with the chemical pesticides.
