Biocontrol efficacy of native protease-producing bacterial isolates against the olive leaf moth, Palpita unionalis (Hübner) (Lepidoptera: Pyralidae)
Abstract Background The olive leaf moth (OLM), Palpita unionalis (Hübner) (Lepidoptera: Pyralidae), poses a significant threat to olive cultivation. This study focused on isolating protease-producing bacteria from moribund field strains of P. unionalis larvae and assessing their larvicidal efficacy...
