Title: Mass Production of bioagents and biopesticides (AEN-ENT-487)

Brief Note : Objectives:

  1. To impart hands-on training in the mass production of bioagents and biopesticides

  2. To get acquainted with recent developments in biopesticide production technologies

  3. To develop expertise in the mass production of bioagents and biopesticides

  4. To develop entrepreneurship among agriculture graduates

Production of bioagents

  •  Mass production of entomopathogenic viruses (HaNPV and SlNPV)
  • Mass production of entomopathogenic fungi (Mycoinsecticides) viz.
  • Metarhizium, Beauveria and Verticillium
  •  Mass production of predator, Dipha aphidivora on sugarcane woolly aphid in shade net house
