Overview of Insect Pests and Their Impact on Major Cereal Crops of Kashmir
This work incorporates detailed field observations on insect pests associated with major (field) cereal crops of valley of Kashmir. The work has been conducted in different months of 2018-2019. Different Insect pests were observed during the course of work. Some insect pests cause little damage to crops like rice, maize, wheat, mustard etc and these are called minor pests. Some cause severe damage to these crops and are included in major pests. After the completion of survey it was found that most of the insect pests belong to orders Lepidoptera, Orthoptera, Hemiptera and Coleoptera. The most predominant insect pests of these crops observed were cutworms (Agrotis spp.), stem borer (Chilo partellus), army worm (Mythima seperata), grasshoppers (Oxya nitidula), green leaf aphid, leaf hopper and rice skipper. The work was carried out in order to have check on most serious insect pests of these crops that are responsible for the decline of productivity and income of the Kashmir. Therefore, the present study was an attempt to observe the potentiality of insect pests such as grasshoppers, stem borers, aphids, cutworms, armyworms, leaf hoppers, caterpillars of the important cash crops viz. rice, maize, wheat and conversely, to have check on their population. Therefore, the present study can form a basis for controlling these pest species in future, when there are likely chances of outbreaks.
Diversity of Insect Fauna in Croplands of District Faisalabad
Pakistan Journal of Agricultural Sciences, 2010
245 Insects are the largest and the most diverse group of organisms. Different crops showed varied responses towards insect populations. Present study was aimed at collection, identification and comparison of species richness, abundance and evenness of insect fauna from four major crops (sugarcane, fodder, wheat and brassica) in District Faisalabad. Sugarcane was the preferred crop by majority of faunal species followed by fodder, wheat and brassica. Maximum diversity of faunal species was found in sugarcane whereas; wheat crop was found to support maximum coleopteran predators and hemipteran pests. Wheat and brassica fauna showed maximum similarity. The insect data of the year 2007-8 was considerably more diverse and abundant than that of 2008-9. Trophic guild showed, phytophagous (175) followed by zoophagous (41), omnivore (27) and saprophagous (23) species. The present insect data base will be helpful in designing future integrated pest management studies.
A survey of insect pests damaging vegetable crops in Kashmir Valley (India), with some new records
Journal of Entomological Research, 2011
In 5-year field survey conducted to observe some major insect pests damaging various vegetable crops in Kashmir Valley (India). During the survey, more than 25 insect pest species under 23 genera, distributed over 6 insect orders, belonging to 13 insect families were found infesting 23 host vegetable crops. Occurrence of 4 new pests, viz. Evergestis forficalis (L.) (Lepidoptera: Pyralidae), Leucinodes orbonalis Guen. (Lepidoptera: Pyralidae), Phyllotreta cruciferae (Goez.) (Coleoptera: Chrysomalidae) and Liriomyza trifolii (Burg.) (Diptera: Agromyzidae) were recorded. Apart from these, a number of new host-crops of the already reported pests of Kashmir have been observed.

The reported species were recorded from different habitat like Agricultural field, Residential area, Water Reservoirs, Woodland & Forest, Thorny Scrub and Grassland area. According to IUCN Red list, 1 species is critically Endangered, 2 species are Endangered, 1 species is Vulnerable, 5 species are Near Threatened, 14 species are Data deficient, and 2 species are Least Concern. The insect pest cause on an average 15-20% yield losses in food and cash crops. Due to heavy of Insecticides use in agricultural field, the natural biocontrol agent's numbers are drastically declined in study area. Suggestions for future improvement include, Integrated Pest Management (IPM) program through the ecological pest management practices.

The mountain farming communities of the Garhwal Himalaya rely on a conventional approach to agriculture to meet their subsistence needs. The resilience of local crop varieties plays a significant role in crop productivity in the indigenous agricultural system. In such circumstances, the protection of the crop from insect pests becomes paramount. Traditional ecological knowledge plays a crucial role in safeguarding standing crops from production losses in an environmentally benign and sustainable manner. The investigators in this study have surveyed the Mandakini valley to document the indigenous practices undertaken by the farming folks to protect the crops from pest infestation in the region. These practices are discoursed here and, further, look into the potential of natural predators as bio-control. The findings indicated that pests from the order Coleoptera had the most species, followed by Lepidoptera and Hemiptera. Most of the pests in the study site were serious defoliators, damaging the young foliage of the crops. Some entirely fed upon their roots-stems, while the rest were leaf miners and sapsuckers, thus compromising the overall well-being of the plant. In a developing country like India, there is a lack of reliable data that sheds light on the annual crop losses incurred by these pests. Thus, it becomes pertinent to compute an overall estimate of crop losses at various stages of crop production, from seed storage to post-harvest times.
Introduction to alien insect pests on agriculture associated with Indian region and management
2021
Invasive insect pests unknown species accidently introduced. Large number introduce in many species in India. Its control or management very difficult to farmers and other. The Indian agricultural economy is the vulnerable to threat from many bio potential arms mainly invasive insect pests. Causes large loss by invasive species. Invasive insect pests species are exotic, introduced, foreign, non-indigenous or non origin. Invasive pest species have rapidly established and spread in a new area. The number of invasive insect pests species are introduce in India last 20th and 21st century by accidentally and they has greater impact on agriculture. There is a need for interdisciplinary coordinated work among scientists, in identifying invaded organisms and in assessing their ecological problems, environmental concerns in different ecosystems, economic damage and sustainable management by prevention, eradication and control. Invasive species control, uses many phytosenitory certificate, quarantine measurement etc.

Incidence of the bean bug Chauliops fallax Sweet and Schaeffer (Hemiptera: Malcidae) was recorded on soybean and pulses grown during Kharif at five different locations under low and mid hills of Himachal Pradesh during 2016. Its incidence varied from 0.20 to 28.8 bugs per 10 plants on soybean and pulses at different locations. The maximum incidence was recorded at Sundernagar on soybean crop (28.80 bugs/ 10 plants) whereas minimum incidence was observed at Una (0.20 bugs/ 10 plants). Seasonal abundance of the bug was studied on soybean, cowpea and black gram (mash) at Palampur starting from third week of June, 2016 till last week of September, 2016. The bug appeared just after germination of the crops and remained feeding on them up to their maturity or harvesting. Peak population on soybean (188 bugs/ 10 plants) was observed during 1st week of August. Peak population on cowpea (68 bugs/ 10 plants) and mash (40 bugs/ 10 plants) was observed during 2nd week of August. Among weather parameters, rainfall and relative humidity had a significant positive correlation with bug population on the three hosts.
