TL;DR: There were high to very high levels of resistance to organophosphates in most of the population, which suggested that the use of these should be avoided against this pest, and the new chemistry insecticides, lufenuron, methoxyfenozide, emamectin and indoxacarb had no, very low, low and moderate resistance levels against populations.

TL;DR: All the plant extracts possessed significant insecticidal properties and could be introduced as botanical insecticides after field evaluations and biochemical analysis suggested that when using ethanol, C. colocynthis produced a high dry yield, which might be responsible for aphid mortality.

TL;DR: All insecticides except emamectin benzoate, lufenuron, triflumuron and imidachloprid had a significant adverse effect on the emergence of T.chilonis when exposed to all immature stages of development in the host eggs of Sitotroga cerealella.

TL;DR: It can be concluded that both the botanicals can be used as effective tool against T. castaneum along-with other IPM tactics.

TL;DR: Toxicity of some new insecticides viz., spinosad, lufenuron, flubendiamide, chlorantraniliprole, emamectin benzoate and imidacloprid were tested against immature and adult stages of Trichogramma chilonis under laboratory conditions and were found to be safe to the parasitoid.
