Theory
History and concept of biological control, different groups of biological control agents and bio-pesticides: macrobials (parasitoids and predators) History and concept of biological control, different groups of biological control agents and bio-pesticides: microbials (bacteria, viruses, fungi, protozoa and nematodes) and botanicals (neem, pyrethrum, nicotine, rotenone etc.), their use in pest management along with advantages and limitations, methods of their mass production National and international agencies dealing with biological control; promising bio-control agents and their use in insect pest management Promising bio-agents (antagonists) of plant pathogens, their modes of action and compatibility with agro-chemicals; promising bio-control agents of plant parasitic nematodes and their modes of action |

Practical
Identification of important groups of parasitoids, predators and microbial bio -control agents laboratory multiplication of parasitoids, predators and microbial control agents isolation, identification, culturing and mass multiplication of entomopathogenic nematodes demonstration of the efficacy and mass multiplication of promising bio-control agents (Trichogramma species and Chrysoperla carnea) of insect pests demonstration of the efficacy and mass multiplication of promising bio-control agents (Paecilomyces lilacinus and Pasteuria penetrans) of plant parasitic nematodes. |
