Agricultural losses due to insect pests amount to approximately 250 billion euros worldwide [l]. To date, crop protection relies almost exclusively on chemical treatments responsible for significant environmental damage, the emergence of resistance in certain insect pests [2] and residues that can potentially prove dangerous to human health [3]. Societal and health concerns create the need to find new ecological solutions.
