Innovative approaches for insect pest management in floriculture

Abstract

In context of insect pest challenges, Integrated Pest Management (IPM) techniques that emphasize the use of biocontrol agents, bio-pesticides, and organic pesticides offer promising solutions to combat resistant pest populations. Moreover, adopting holistic approaches, such as trap crops, banker plants, and pollinator-friendly practices, can help maintain the ecological integrity of floriculture systems and promote sustainable crop production. This article offers an in-depth look at the nature of damage and management of major pests affecting important flower crops.
