“…The high efficacy of the B. bassiaa fungus in killing C. formicarius, causing mortality reaching 90%, was also reported by [33] Innovation Existing and [34]. Even the B. bassiana fungus has more advantages when compared to other entomopathogenic fungi because it is more pathogenic to various types of other important insect pests such as the whitefly Bemisia tabaci [35][36][37][38]. In addition to being more pathogenic and having a wider range of hosts for various types of major pests, the colonization rate on cadavers is very fast so that the epizootic process occurs more easily to suppress the development of population explosions [39][40].…”

Cylas formicarius is a major pest of sweet potato in various countries, with yield losses reaching 100%. Control technology using chemical pesticides is not successful. This study aims to examine the efficacy of the entomopathogenic fungus Beauveria bassiana compared to chemical pesticides against C. formicarius, which was conducted in Lumajang Regency, East Java, from May to September 2021. The results showed that the highest tuber productivity occurred in innovative technology, reaching 43 t/ha with only 1% tuber damage. While the productivity of the existing technology is only 20 t/ha with a tuber damage rate of 21%. The advantages of innovative technology can also be seen in the abundance of both predatory an parasitoid insects. The application of B. bassiana to control the tuber borer at the base of the stem is safer for the survival of useful insects, especially predators, and parasitoids. In addition, the tubers obtained are more organic, so the selling price of these commodities is more expensive than conventional ones. The entomopathogenic fungus B. bassiana has a great opportunity to be used as a potential biopesticide candidate to be developed as a technological innovation to replace the efficacy of chemical pesticides.

Global agriculture is heavily dependent on sustainable plant protection. Worldwide, the concept of integrated pest management (IPM) is being followed. IPM utilizes a range of strategies, with chemical synthetic pesticides being employed only as a last resort. However, in agricultural practice, farmers continue to rely primarily on this option. To further reduce this dependence, new strategies are being sought to strengthen the use of biological control within the IPM approach including the identification of novel non-synthetic natural compounds. Here, we discuss and report on the state of the art in biological control research in areas such as biocontrol agents and application of ecological principles. These practices can help to establish sustainable plant protection systems, with the greatest impact achieved when they are used in appropriate combinations. We highlight the conditions that currently prevent or hinder the increased use of biocontrol measures. On the background of agroecological experiences, we discuss why additional advancements in plant protection practices are imperative to more effectively break the life cycles of pests, diseases and weeds. We emphasize the significance of a judicious application of chemical control technologies, adapted to local conditions. Additionally, we highlight the key role and expertise of operators in implementing these practices and their knowledge thereof.
