Microbial control has recently been recognized as an important component of integrated pest management strategies for field crops and stored product commodities. The successful development of a mycoinsecticide ultimately depends on the availability of a virulent strain, an optimized and economic production system and a suitable formulation to optimise its application, efficacy and storage characteristics as well as the persistence after application. It is clear from analysis and synthesis of the present studies that considerable efforts have been made towards the selection of virulent isolates, the optimisation of the production process, the development of new formulations and testing their efficacy against the intended target insect pests, their persistence and storability under different environmental conditions
