“…Nanomaterials have a great promise for the management and control of insect pest. These include insect pests management through the formulations of nano based insecticides, transfer of nano-particle-mediated gene or DNA in plants for the development of insect pest resistant varieties, agricultural productivity enhancement using nanoparticles (encapsulation) for slow release (Bhan et al, 2018). It is also reported that calcium carbonate nanoparticles can enhance plant insect pest tolerance (Hua et al, 2015).…”

Insect pests are one of the most concerned biotic obstacles in agriculture and humans are constantly in search of new strategies to control them. Chemical pesticides are extensively used for controlling insect pests which cause a lot of problem, such as pest resistance, elimination of natural enemies, environmental pollution, loss of biodiversity and human health hazards. As an alternative pest control strategy, the application of nanotechnology in insect pest management can be one of the most promising ways to overcome the problems related to the application of conventional chemical pesticide. According to various research findings, the nano based materials are described as very effective in insect pest management because they have larger surface area which ensures the contact of more volume of pesticides with the insect pests. They also provide selective, targeted and long term-controlled release of formulation of nanomaterial which is ecologically more viable. Moreover, the required amount of nano-insecticide is also very small for controlling insect and thus the pesticide load in the environment gets reduced. So, use of nanotechnology for insect pest management is considered as environmentally sustainable and a brilliant insect control strategy in green agriculture. SAARC J. Agric., 19(2): 1-11 (2021)

“…For example, nanoparticles may adhere to the insect cuticle, disrupting its integrity and causing water loss through increased permeability. This dehydration can eventually lead to the mortality of the pest (Bhan, Mohan, & Srivastava, 2018).…”

Biopesticides have gained significant attention as an environmentally friendly and sustainable approach for managing insect pests. These pest control agents are derived from natural sources such as plants, microbes, and insects themselves, offering several advantages over conventional chemical pesticides. Biopesticides offer target specificity, minimal environmental impact, and reduced risks to human health. They can be classified into three main categories: microbial biopesticides, bio-derived chemicals, and plant-incorporated protectants. Microbial biopesticides utilize microorganisms, such as bacteria, fungi, and viruses, to control pests through various mechanisms, including direct pathogenicity or the production of toxins. Bio-derived chemicals are derived from natural compounds, such as botanical extracts or pheromones, and act as repellents, attractants, or disruptors of pest behavior. Plant-incorporated protectants involve genetic modification of plants to produce insecticidal proteins, providing continuous pest control. The efficacy of biopesticides can be influenced by factors such as formulation, application methods, and environmental conditions. Integrated Pest Management (IPM) strategies that combine multiple pest control methods, including biopesticides, have shown great potential in achieving sustainable pest management. Despite their advantages, challenges remain in the development and commercialization of biopesticides, including limited availability of effective strains or compounds, regulatory barriers, and market acceptance. Future research should focus on optimizing biopesticide formulations, improving efficacy, expanding the target pest range, and addressing concerns related to persistence, non-target effects, and resistance development. Overall, biopesticides present a promising alternative for insect pest management, offering effective and sustainable solutions for crop protection and public health.

“…Although 90% of nano-based patents and products still come from only seven countries, namely, Germany, France China, Japan, South Korea, Switzerland, and USA, there are already several insecticides encapsulated with nanoparticles from silver, silica, copper, iron and carbon for the control of insect pests/vectors such as mosquitoes, beetles, weevils, aphids and white flies [124]. It is also hypothesized that nanomaterials can be combined with a global positioning system (GPS) and remote sensing to develop crop pest detectors and monitoring systems based on spectral images [121].…”

“…It is also hypothesized that nanomaterials can be combined with a global positioning system (GPS) and remote sensing to develop crop pest detectors and monitoring systems based on spectral images [121]. The longer persistence, enhanced transport and higher toxicity of nanoparticles may however result in harmful impacts on the environment such as contamination and detrimental impacts to non-target organisms [124], which need to be continuously evaluated.…”

Global Advances on Insect Pest Management Research in Oil Palm

Here, we review the advances in research on management of key oil palm insect pests globally, including defoliators, leaf/fruit scrapers, borers and sap feeders. The common oil palm pest management methods include synthetic insecticides, biopesticides, semiochemical lures, cultural practices, and integrated approaches. However, effectiveness, affordability, availability and impact of these methods on human and environmental health vary considerably based on the target insect and geographical location. The use of quarantine regulations to prevent the spread of invasive pests has also been applied with remarkable results. There are notable research advances in semiochemicals, bioacoustic detectors, nanotechnology, insect growth regulators, and entomophagy for better management of oil palm pests. We suggest the following research areas for improving effectiveness of oil palm pest management interventions: (i) exploration of semiochemical attractants for the majority of pests with no previous semiochemical work, and their integration in attract-and-kill devices laced with pathogenic microbes; (ii) expanding the application of digital sensing, predictive modeling and nano-technology in pest control strategies; (iii) developing effective technologies for mass trapping of edible insect pests for food or feed, especially among communities with a tradition of entomophagy; and (iv) strengthening regulatory frameworks for the management of quarantine oil palm insect pests.
