Which one of the following is an example of carrying out biological control of pests/diseases using microbes?
1. Trichoderma sp. against certain plant pathogens
2. Nucleopolyhedrovirus against white rust in Brassica
3. Bt-cotton to increase cotton yield
4. Ladybird beetle against aphids in mustard
Baculoviruses can play an important role in overall Integrated Pest Management in an ecologically sensitive area because:
1. | They are effective against a large number of insects |
2. | Their use can help in the conservation of beneficial insects |
3. | They do not have any adverse effects on human health |
4. | They are cost-effective and can be easily applied as sprays by the farmer |
