Abstract

Lepidopteran pest cause significant loss in quantity and quality of produced in many agricultural and horticultural crops. Therefore management strategies should aim to reduce their population below threshold level. Though chemical pesticides are recommended for controlling these insect pests, biocontrol agents are mostly recommended in IPM programme.The most important bio-control agent is the entomopathogenic nematodes (EPNs). This review discusses the bioefficacy of some of important species of entomopathogenic nematodes against various lepidopteran insect pests.
