Abstract Spoladea recurvalis is a major pest of amaranth, capable of causing up to 100% yield loss if not controlled. Current control measures rely on synthetic chemicals; however, these chemicals are unsafe due to the crop’s short maturity that make pre-harvest intervals observation difficult. A sustainable alternative to synthetic chemicals would be entomopathogenic fungi (EPF) though, a few bottlenecks still exist in the effective use of these biological solutions.
