Helicoverpa armigera (Hubner) is considered one of the most important pests in agriculture globally. As it is a polyphagous pest and infests more than 180 plants, it causes huge economic loss annually. It is a native to India and is widely distributed throughout the country. Agriculturists have taken several measures to control this pest. Earlier methods include the use of chemical pesticides and insecticides. In recent times, more attention is being paid to the biological control methods such as the use of natural enemies, pheromones, neuropeptides, development of transgenic crops, and RNA interference technology. These methods though have faced some challenges in implementation but are safe, sustainable, and mostly species specific. Here, we have discussed the chemical and biological methods that have been used in the past or are currently in practice. We have also discussed some of the quite recent but promising technologies which in the future can be developed as a tool for the control of H. armigera. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
