Abstract

Bactrocera zonata is the destructive pest of peach, mango and banana by causing Significant economic losses                                                                                                                                                                                                                                      It reduces fruit quality, which directly causes decline in export of these economical fruits.  Many management strategies were carried to suppress the population of this invasive pest. The use of chemical insecticides in the orchard for control of B. zonata is restricted because insecticides causes several complication in fruit health and makes fruits unfit for human consumption.                                                                                                                           The EPF (Beauveria bassiana) act as potent biocontrol agent. B. bassiana enriched with three cuticle degrading enzymes including protease, lipases and chitinase. These enzymes have ability to hydrolyze and degrade the epicuticle and break the antifungal proteins linkage present in that cuticle for facilitating the spore’s penetration. The current study emphasizes the activity of cuticle degrading enzymes (CDE) of Beauveria bassiana (protease, chitinase, lipases) for the management of B. zonata.
