An attractive alternative method to chemical pesticides is the insect biocontrol (MBCAs) agents. They are the natural enemies devastating the pest population with no hazard effects on human health and the environment. Like Entomopathogenic fungi has an important position among all the biocontrol agents because of its route of pathogenicity, broad host rang and its ability to control both sap sucking pests such as mosquitoes and aphids as well as pests with chewing mouthparts, yet they only cover a small percentage of the total insecticide market. Improvements are needed to fulfill the requirements for high market share. The biocontrol agent are required to eliminate the chance that the putative impact of the biocontrol agent is not confounded with other causes. Overall, we argue that well replicated and landscape-scale post release monitoring programs are required not only to evaluate critically the degree of success and failure of biocontrol programs worldwide but also to provide insights into improving future biocontrol efforts.
