Abstract

The integration of molecular biology and biotechnology into insect and pest management has revolutionized how we address challenges in agriculture, health, and ecological balance. Central to these advances are innovations in DNA diagnostics, Sf transgenic technology, and the understanding of insect biology at a molecular level. These tools and insights have provided unprecedented precision in identifying, studying, and combating pests and pathogens, improving crop yields, and reducing dependency on chemical pesticides.
