Abstract

The present investigation deals with the effects of Bacillus thuringiensis ssp. kurstaki on various biological parameters of γ-irradiated Cadra cautella. The pathogen, irradiation, and their combinations significantly affected the insects by increasing their mortality and developmental periods, reducing the pupal and adult survival (%), and the adult longevity and reproductive potential were also significantly reduced. It was observed that irradiation–pathogen combinations produced additive to synergistic effects on C. cautella.
