Biocontrol potential of entomopathogenic nematode, Heterorhabditis indica against pink bollworm, Pectinophora gossypiella (Saunders) (Lepidoptera: Gelechiidae)

Abstract Background The emergence of pink bollworm (PBW), Pectinophora gossypiella (Saunders) (Lepidoptera: Gelechiidae), in cotton due to Bt resistance and concealed feeding habit has created a need for alternative, eco-friendly, and cost-effective control methods. This study aimed to evaluate the...
