The tropical climate shift is causing herbivores to emerge almost ceaselessly throughout the year in certain regions exhibiting homodynamic cycles and unbalanced biodiversity. Crop management and pest management are being viewed as separate activities, with recent focus on sustainability. Even though there is a great deal of information on crop loss assessment, systems analysis, systems modelling, individual pest sciences, and pest management, the Integrated Pest Management (IPM) concept is not frequently deployed. The IPM system is a multi-tactic approach to pest management in agricultural production that takes into account economic, environmental, ecological, and human health implications. This paper provides an overview of key achievements in the development of management strategies, including the transition from a specific level of pest control that focuses on the suppression of target pests to an eco-friendlier and/or systems approach to pest management that employs a variety of non-chemical options as well as the judicious use of pesticides. The agroecological protection techniques and their integration to sustainably minimise pest risks are also reviewed here and describe technological advances in tropical pest management using host resistance, semiochemicals, natural enemies, selective pesticides, ecological engineering and habitat management which promotes sustainable pest management.

“…Drought, salt, heat, and cold are the main abiotic stressors affecting horticulture crops and they can cause losses of up to 50 -70% ( Tiwari et al., 2020 ), whereas biotic stresses, primarily insects and diseases, can cause losses of 40-60% ( Oerke and Dehne, 2004 ). Amongst all biotic constraints, insect pests are one of the major concerns across the globe ( Saha et al., 2020 ). Horticultural crop growers are most concerned with developing an eco-friendly management method that is compatible with the current pest control strategy, given the risks associated with overusing chemicals, such as pest resurgence, resistance, pesticide residue and biomagnification at higher trophic levels ( Banjo et al., 2003 ).…”

Horticultural production is a vital catalyst for economic growth, yet insect infestations reduce horticultural crop yield and quality. Pesticides and other pest control methods are used during planting to eliminate pests that cause direct and indirect losses. In such situations, endophytic entomo-pathogenic fungi (EEPF) can act as a potential tools for biological control. They protect plants by boosting growth, nutrition, morpho-physiology and salt or iron tolerance. Antixenosis, antibiosis and plant tolerance change insect performance and preferences. EEPF- plant colonisation slows herbivore development, food consumption, oviposition and larval survival. EEPF changes plant physio-chemical properties like volatile emission profile and secondary metabolite production to regulate insect pest defences. EEPF produces chitinases, laccases, amylases, and cellulases for plant defence. Recent studies focused on EEPF species’ significance, isolation, identification and field application. Realizing their full potential is difficult due to insufficient mass production, storage stability and formulation. Genetic-molecular and bioinformatics can help to build EEPF-based biological control systems. Metagenomics helps study microbial EEPF taxonomy and function. Multi-omics and system biology can decode EEPF interactions with host plants and microorganisms. NGS (Next Generation Sequencing), comparative genomics, proteomics, transcriptomics, metabolomics, metatranscriptomics and microarrays are used to evaluate plant-EEPF relationships. IPM requires understanding the abiotic and biotic elements that influence plant-EEPF interaction and the physiological mechanisms of EEPF colonisation. Due to restricted research, there are hundreds of unexplored EEPFs, providing an urgent need to uncover and analyse them.

“…The black cutworm, Agrotisipsilon (Hufnagel) (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae), is widely distributed in the world, particularly in moderate and subtropical countries (Binning et al, 2015;Mishra, 2020;Rodingpuia and Lalthanzara, 2021;Bakr et al, 2021a). It is considered one of the most dangerous species of underground pests and destroys more than 100 species of host plants (Binning et al, 2015;Liu et al, 2015;Bakr et al, 2021b;Hayat et al, 2021).…”
