Abstract

Major biotic stress in vegetable production is due to insect pest attacks. In many cases, there is a total yield loss due to direct (feeding on plants) and indirect (vectors of viral disease) damages. Farmers use indiscriminate doses of pesticides that increase the pesticide load on vegetable crops and cause environmental pollution and health hazards. To deal with these excess residual load, a well planned integrated pest management (IPM) approach against insect pests is required, that could lead to higher yields and increased profits. IPM approaches involve every component of management practices that keep pest population below economic injury levels, so that they do not cause any economic loss to farmers or growers.
