Abstract: In the several studies, the transgenic crops viz., egg plant, broccoli, canola, chickpea, cotton, groundnut, maize/ corn, potato, tobacco and tomato, etc., have been reported as safe to the different insect predators and parasitoids except few transgenics like sorghum, soyabean, sugarcane and rice with some indirect effects. Since, use of transgenic crops is environmentally safe, effective and ecofriendly approach, which can be suited in the IPM system. However, the hue and cry about their health hazardous effects demand greatly to carry shift the assessment of their impact from lab to land and also need more understanding of triangular interaction between pest, Bt and biocontrol agent.
