However, the immune responses of the target insects significantly influence <em>M. anisopliae</em> virulence against insect pests. Among these pests, the tomato fruit borer, <em>Helicoverpa armigera</em>, stands out as a polyphagous and economically significant species for its resistance to numerous insecticides. Understanding the interaction between <em>M. anisopliae</em> and <em>H. armigera</em> immune defense is therefore critical for developing effective biocontrol strategies. In this study, five isolates of <em>M. anisopliae</em> were evaluated against the second and fourth instars of <em>H. armigera</em> using leaf dip-bioassay under controlled laboratory conditions. The isolate ICAR SBI Ma 08 was the most effective against both instars, with lowest LC<sub>50</sub> (2.56 × 10<sup>6</sup> & 3.56 × 10<sup>8</sup>) and LT<sub>50</sub> values (4.36 and 6.36 days). The order of efficacy of other strains was ICAR SBI Ma 01 > ICAR SBI Ma 69 > ICAR SBI Ma 04 > ICAR SBI Ma 172. This isolate effectively evaded the immune response of <em>H. armigera</em> by inhibiting the activities of detoxifying enzymes such as esterase, mixed-function oxidase, acetylcholinesterase, and polyphenol oxidase. Conversely, following infection with this potent strain, larvae exhibited increased activities of glutathione S-transferase, catalase, aryl-acylamidase, and peroxidase. An increase in spore concentration had a positive impact on <em>M. anisopliae</em> pathogenicity. Histopathological studies showed that ICAR SBI Ma 08 successfully breached the first epidermal layer, with mycelia reaching the promeristem within 24 h post-infection. <em>M. anisopliae</em> ICAR SBI Ma 08 exhibited the highest efficacy against the second instar with a reduced LT<sub>50</sub>, and its modulating enzymatic activity suggested that this isolate could be effectively deployed against the first and second instars of <em>H. armigera</em>.

RSM is also an important candidate for a whole-crop biorefining scheme, due to its integration potential with biorefining of other rapeseed-derived fractions, including rapeseed oil and straw.
