“…Various insect pests delimit the yields of wheat crop in different agro-climatic zones. Some of these insect pests are foliar aphid complex in irrigated wheat, root aphids in loose soils, pink stem borers in fields having rice stubbles, cut worms in residues, termites in raised beds and brown mites in rainfed conditions [21]. Six different species of aphids are reported to attack cereals.…”

Wheat (T. aestivum) is one of the key food grain crops and is a prominent source of calories and proteins globally. In addition to mushrooming population and rising abiotic stresses in this ongoing climate change era, biotic stresses pose a great threat to wheat production over the globe. Fungal diseases such as rusts, mildew, along with pests like aphid, hinder the potential yield performance of the elite wheat cultivars to a huge extent. The complex nature of plant-parasite interactions is shown to be the decisive factor for the ultimate resistance expression in wheat. However, the advancement of molecular genetics and biotechnology enabled the replacement of the tedious, time and resource consuming cytogenetic analyses of locating APR and ASR genes using molecular mapping techniques. Continuous efforts have been made to mine resistance genes from diverse genetic resources such as wild relatives for combating these diseases and pests, which are repositories of R genes. Additionally, they offer a promising source of genetic variation to be introgressed and exploited for imparting biotic stress tolerance in cultivated wheat. Though just a handful of R-genes are cloned and molecularly characterized in wheat so far, more than 350 resistance genes for various diseases have been identified and successfully introgressed into elite varieties around the globe. Modern genomics and phenomic approaches coupled with next-generation sequencing techniques have facilitated the fine-mapping as well as marker aided selection of resistance genes for biotic stress resistance wheat breeding.

“…Earlier, the problem of insect-pests was not serious in wheat but with changing climate and promotion of new crop production technologies like conservation agriculture technologies, minor and occasional insect-pests are now becoming major and regular pests of wheat which requires regular crop monitoring. Some of these insectpests are foliar aphid complex in irrigated wheat, root aphids in loose soils, pink stem bores in fields having rice stubbles, cut worms in residues, termites in raised beds and brown mites in rainfed conditions (Katare et al, 2015). Grasshoppers can also cause serious damage to wheat seedlings of November-sown crop in many rice-wheat areas of eastern Gangetic plains of India ( Joshi et al, 2004).…”

Wheat (Triticum aestivum) is main staple food grain crop, grown in a range of environments over an area of 221.6 million hectares (M ha) with an annual production likely to reach more than 750.4 million metric tons in 2016-17 (Foreign Agricultural Service, USDA, 2018). Despite of this significant growth, the world population in some parts is still facing hunger crisis due to insufficient availability of food grains. To meet the future food demands imposed by overwhelming increasing population which is expected to reach nine billions in 2050, the world wheat production must continue to increase by 2% annually. This challenge of increasing wheat production is daunting as the wheat cropping system at present is constrained by climatic fluctuations, poor soil health and has increased risk of epidemic outbreak of diseases and insect-pests. To address these challenges, innovative technologies with a potential of increasing the sustainability of the present day cropping systems are required to be introduced in modern agriculture. Among these technological advancements, nanotechnology is gathering significant contemplations due to its wide spectrum applications in agriculture and allied sectors. It has a wider application in the field of crop production, food security, sustainability and climate change and is being utilized for developing several precise tool sets like nanofertilizer, nanopesticide, nanoherbicide, nanosensor and smart delivery systems for controlled and sustained release of agrochemicals. Recent research evidences indicated that intervention of nanotechnology in wheat farming is still in its early stages, although have bright prospects for efficient nutrient utilization through nanoformulations of fertilizers, breaching yield barriers through bionanotechnology, surveillance and management of pests and diseases and development of new-generation pesticides etc.

“…New insecticide formulations with high efficacy and novel mode of action are being used to control aphids in wheat crop (Longhurst et al, 2013;Bhanu et al, 2015;Katare et al, 2015). New chemicals such as flubendamide 480SC, thiamethoxam 25WG and chlorantranilipride 18.5SC, and entomopathogenic fungi, Metarhizium anisopliae, Verticillium lecanii have been tried against aphids in wheat and barley and have been found effective (Katare et al, 2017;Jasrotia et al, 2018). However, scanty information is available on the efficacy of newer insecticide, sulfoxaflor 12%SC against wheat aphids, and the present study evaluates its efficacy against wheat aphids.…”

Efficacy of dosages of sulfoxaflor 12%SC were evaluated for the control of foliar aphids under Contract Research Project on wheat during rabi seasons of 2014-15 and 2015-16 at the research farm of ICAR- Indian Institute of Wheat and Barley Research, Karnal, Haryana. The standard check insecticides thiamethoxam 25WDG and quinalphos 25EC were included along with sulfoxaflor, and all the treatments were found to be significantly superior. The incidence of aphids/ shoot/ plant was significantly less with sulfoxaflor 12 SC @ 24, 27 and 30 g a.i./ ha with 94.54, 95.27 and 96.03% reduction, respectively; these being at par with each other, followed by thiamethoxam 25WDG @ 12.5 g a.i./ ha and quinalphos 25EC @ 250 g a.i./ ha. The seven-spotted ladybird beetle Coccinella septempunctata L. was the main natural enemy observed in the crop, and its counts were the least (1.50/ m2) with thiamethoxam 25WDG @ 12.5 g a.i./ha at 14 DAS. The pooled data revealed that the yield was significantly more with sulfoxaflor 12SC @ 24, 27 and 30 g a.i./ ha (52.21, 52.62 and 54.32 q/ ha) followed by thiamethoxam 25WDG @ 12.5 g a.i./ ha (49.87 q/ ha) which was at par with quinalphos 25EC @ 250 g a.i./ ha (47.73 q/ha). Considering incremental cost benefit ratio, sulfoxaflor 12% SC @30 g a.i/ ha (1:2.70) is the most economical, and no phytotoxicity symptoms were observed at its doses @30 and 60 g a.i/ ha.
