Abstract Entomopathogenic fungi are the most effective control remedy against a wide range of medical and agricultural important pests. The present study aimed to isolate, identify, assess virulence Metarhizium rileyi Spodoptera litura frugiperda pupae under soil conditions. biotechnological methods were used identify isolate as M. . fungal conidial pathogenicity (2.0 × 10 7 , 2.0 8 9 11 conidia/mL −1 ) was tested prepupae S. at 3, 6, 9, 12 days after treatments. Additionally, artificial soil‐conidial assay performed on nontarget species earthworm Eudrilus eugeniae using conidia. results showed that caused significant mortality rates in (61‐90%), more susceptible than (46%–73%) day posttreatment. LC 50 90 3.4 14 –9.9 17 6.6 5 –4.6 respectively. conidia did not exhibit any sublethal effect adult stage E. Artemia salina following 12‐day treatment period. Moreover, histopathological evaluation no discernible harm observed gut tissues including lumen epithelial cells, well muscles, setae, nucleus, mitochondria, coelom. findings provide clear evidence can be foundation for development bio‐insecticides combat

Abstract Hesperidin, a natural flavanone glycoside predominantly found in citrus fruits, has gained attention for its wide-ranging biological activities, including potential insecticidal properties. Culex pipiens , commonly known as the northern house mosquito, is major vector of several human pathogens, such West Nile virus and filariasis, making it key target fight against vector-borne diseases. In this study, we evaluated larvicidal activity Hesperidin larvae, assessing an alternative to chemical insecticides. demonstrated potent effects, with lethal concentration 50 (LC ) 570.3 ± 0.04 µg/mL, outperforming conventional insecticide Chlorpyrifos 588.3 0.28 µg/mL efficacy. Molecular docking simulations revealed strong binding affinity between crucial neuroreceptors particularly acetylcholinesterase (AChE), enzyme involved nerve signal transmission. The interaction Hesperidin’s hydroxyl groups AChE enzyme’s active site suggests that inhibition primary mechanism driving action. These findings position promising, environmentally friendly synthetic However, further research needed assess toxicity non-target organisms optimize formulation broader application mosquito control.

Numerous concerns associated with the use of synthetic pesticides have led to important initiatives aimed at ensuring eco-friendly practices in pest and disease control. Third-generation pesticides, biopesticides, become a key factor those efforts, capturing attention researchers worldwide. To evaluate trends biopesticide research over past three decades, bibliometric analysis was performed on bibliographic data sourced from Web Science database. This included metrics such as publication dynamics, types documents, assessments fields categories. Co-authorship, citation, co-occurrence networks were visualized using VOSviewer software identify collaboration patterns, influential publications, emerging topics, interdisciplinary connections. A total 5054 publications topic ‘biopesticide’ found (1994–2024), nearly half which published last five years. Out 136 contributing countries, USA, People’s Republic China, India produced most while 19,676 authors contributed least one paper throughout entire examined period. The identification frequently used keywords highlighted significant topics within biopesticide-related earliest recent, aiding our understanding developmental trajectory opportunities for future exploration.

The current study aimed to isolate Beauveria brongniartii conidia from forest soils, identify the fungus, and evaluate its effectiveness on eggs, larvae, pupae, adults of Spodoptera litura. Insect mortality rates were recorded every 3, 6, 9, 12 days. identification entomopathogenic fungi was carried out using molecular techniques, including PCR, DNA sequencing, markers, detect species-specific 18 S rDNA genetic sequences, all performed under aseptic conditions. results indicated that higher concentrations (2.7 × 109 conidia/mL) exhibited greater virulence, with eggs showing a rate 98.66%, followed by larvae 96%, 90.66%, pupae 77.33% after Probit analysis revealed minimal LC50 LC90 values: (5.5 102; 1.0 106 spores/mL), (8.2 1.2 107 (9.6 104; 7.3 1010 (1.0 103; 2.0 108 spores/mL). total hemocyte counts detailed observational B. induces cellular breakdown cell lysis in S. litura producing enzymes degrade cuticle membranes.
