Field efficacy of insect pathogens against, lepidopteran pod borers Helicoverpa armigera, Plume moth (Exelastis atmosa), Blue butterfly (Eucrysopus cenjus) and Pod fly (Mellanoagromyza obtusa) as well as sucking pests, jassid (E. kerri) and thrips (Meagalourothrips usitatatus) were carried out at Anand Agricultural University, Anand, during 2005-06 and 2006- 07.The salient findings of the research are as followsenAgricultural MicrobiologyAnalysisThesis
