“…Foliar spray of Silicon fertilizer on wheat enhanced the activity of defense enzymes and increased the concentration of secondary metabolites to decrease the reproductive rate and increase population doubling time of aphids (Qi et al, 2020). Likewise, the foliar application of micronutrients, including nitrogen and sulfur along with the release of common green lacewing in sugarbeet made a significant influence in reducing the population of aphids followed by sugar beet moths, leafhoppers and sugarbeet flies (Yousuf and Dar, 2016).…”

Integrated Pest Management is a sustainable and holistic approach based on ecological, biological, physical and chemical tactics for controlling pests in the field that, in any way, minimizes risk towards the health and environment. IPM methods involve identifying and knowing the characters of possible pests, making efforts to prevent prevalence, judgment of severity of pest-disease infestation through scouting and monitoring techniques. This paper highlights some of the already practiced strategies and experiments with interpretation of results obtained in various field conditions suggesting wider implications of IPM for managing pests in our fields. The review collects and studies some of the basic and commonly adopted cultural practices like clean and healthy crop growth, trap crop plantation, crop rotation, crop combinations etc. Cost effectiveness, ease of execution, instantly observable results etc are some unattainable aspects affecting IPM adoptions yet farmers seem somewhat encouraged towards sustainable and healthy production in recent years. It is necessary to know about crop and pest biology, ecology, phenology and their links/interaction to successfully implement cultural practices.
