Ecological engineering is a novel approach to pest management that considers cultural practices rooted in environmental knowledge and nature-based solutions. This paradigm shift is gaining attention in pest management due to its potential for sustainability and effectiveness without compromising the health of the environment.
Insect pests cause significant yield loss of around 20 to 30% in the field and in during postharvest. However, using chemical pesticides has resulted in environmental pollution, ecological imbalance, pest resurgence, insecticide resistance, and pesticide residues in food and the environment. To ensure food security, higher yield, and safer food it is crucial to find alternative pest management methods that are more sustainable, efficient, and environment-friendly.
