At the same time, there has also been a tremendous change in the pest spectrum and qualitative shift in pest management tactics. Therefore, the organization of a symposium on "Integrated Pest Management for Sustainable Crop Protection" is highly timely to critically review the current available and future pest management technologies, and the issues related to their deployment and integration into IPM module for sustainable pest management.

Chemical Control in Integrated Pest Management
Host Plant Resistance Based Integrated Pest Management
K. Dhillon*
Although considerable progress has been made over the last two decades in manipulating genes from various sources to develop plants with resistance to insect pests, establishing molecular techniques for insect resistance, understanding the nature of gene action and pathways metabolic, but rapid and cost-effective development. , and the approval of biotechnology-derived products will depend on the development of a thorough understanding of the interaction of genes within their genomic environment and with the environment in which their given phenotype interacts. Augmenting conventional breeding with the use of molecular techniques and transgenic approaches holds great promise to reduce pest-related crop losses and accelerate progress in the development of insect-resistant cultivars and increase crop productivity.
Biochemical Interactions for Host Plant Resistance to Insect Pests
Even without knowing the biochemical components involved, these interactions can be used to protect plants against insect pests. Once identified, the information about specific compounds involved in insect-host interactions can be used for the development of resistant varieties.
Biological Control for Pest Management
Papaya meal bug discount in last few years resulted in 60-80% reduction in papaya production in Tamil Nadu. These parasitoids, especially Acerophagus papayae, established themselves very well and brought significant control of papaya mealy bug not only on papaya but also on other crops.
Pest Management Through Cultural and Agronomic Manipulations
P. Singh* and Sunita Yadav Department of Entomology
A high seed rate application is recommended in crops where the removal of infested plants is beneficial in reducing the incidence of insect pests. However, the control of insect pests through cultural manipulation may not be effective under modern production methods and requires a continuous effort to develop according to the suitability of the agricultural ecosystem.

Baum and his team initially developed dsRNA GM maize plants targeting the Snf7 ortholog in western corn rootworm, Diabrotica virgifera (Coleoptera), in 2007. Similarly, Mao and his team transformed cotton plants to produce dsRNA that reduced the expression of the P450 gene in cotton bollworms, Helicoverpa armigera (Lepidoptera) causing adverse effects on bollworms, but no mortality was observed.
Issues Affecting Public Acceptance of GM Crops in India
Seetharama*
We need to make these debates more structured and targeted so that pragmatic actions can be initiated at government level. Finally, if both the public and private sectors provide alternative and competitive technologies, much of the debate, especially in developing countries like ours, can be diluted; we must ignore the remaining protests, but with continued and careful stewardship activities.
Farmers’ Perspectives About Transgenic Crops in India
N. Padaria*
Emphasis should be placed on expanding the role of public extension system in the deployment and dissemination of transgenic technology. Necessary initiatives are required in areas of biosafety regulatory mechanism, capacity building of stakeholders for careful adherence to biosafety measures, and involvement of farmers and extension workers in the deployment of transgenics to harness the potential benefits of transgenic technology with adequate biosafety.
Status of Insect Pest Problems and Their Management in GM Cotton
K. Saini*
What is also desired is the availability in the public domain of rigorous evidence based on scientific experiments and explanations about biosafety facts and related health concerns. Concerted educational campaign efforts, scientist-end-user interface, additional literature and aids, large-scale demonstration and scientific explanation of biosafety concerns and misconceptions will go a long way in developing favorable perception and acceptance. expanded transgenic technology. Since farmers find the public extension system to be the most reliable and trustworthy source of information, it is essential to develop programs to build the capacity of extension workers in transgenic technology so that they can make the desired educational efforts, which are often overlooked by the seed. agencies currently.
Occasional occurrence of the cotton leafroller Sylepta derogata has also been observed in northern India.
Resistance Monitoring and Management in Transgenic Crops
T. Gujar*
In fact, there have been as many as 546 cases of insecticide resistance, cross-resistance and multiple resistance in target pests to date. There is a need for a mixture only if the target pest has developed resistance to one of its components and the spectrum of the pest is wide enough. Sometimes pesticide mixtures contain more than two components that may be homologous to insects or heterologous to more than one species of pest.
Melander's (1914) foresight to intentionally leave some insects untreated with insecticides applies even 100 years later to resistance management.
Refuge Strategy for Bt Resistance Management in GM Cotton
S. Mohan*
In conclusion, the success of Bt cotton in India also places a great responsibility on scientists and policy makers for its sustenance. In the face of poor adherence to recommended planting of 'refuge' non-Bt crops, the sustainability of the technology is at risk, as the strong selection pressure of a Bt cotton crop has the potential to trigger the development of bollworm resistance to the technology. A scientifically sound approach to 'Refuge' delivered through mixing Bt and non-Bt cotton seeds in a single bag is being experimented with and appears to be a robust field viable option that needs to be encouraged and rapidly adopted.
Insecticide Resistance Monitoring and Management in Major Field Crops and Cropping Systems
K. Dhawan*
The unnecessary use of insecticides, the same or from the same group, the elimination of natural enemies, the use of low or high doses can also lead to the development of resistance to insecticides. Due to the development of resistance in insects to insecticides, the monitoring and management of insecticide resistance is a priority for sustainable pest management. The failure of cotton harvest in different cotton growing areas of the world indicated the lack of awareness and strategies for managing resistance.
The success of IRM in cotton is a classic example in several cotton-growing countries that revived the cultivation of cotton after failure due to the development of resistance to bollworms and related problems with excessive use of insecticides.
The New IRM Implementation Paradigm Emerging from Latin America and its Implications for India
IRM strategies were subsequently adopted in many cotton-growing countries, resulting in reduced insecticide use with increased production and higher profits. Thus, resistance management is an integral part of integrated pest management, which combines chemical and non-chemical controls to achieve safe, economical and sustainable control of pest populations.

Integrated Pest Management for Sustainable Crop Protection: The Way Forward
D. Mayee*
The way forward replicates some of the achievements in IPM such as the Ashta project, the FFS concept and the IRM success in cotton. Furthermore, grape pest management through the monitoring program has shown that a substantial reduction in chemical use can be achieved without any residue problem. To increase the reach of IPM among farmers, it is also essential to invest in the development of warning technologies for epidemiologically potential pests.
Similarly, strengthening the monitoring mechanisms and training the farmers through transfer of technologies will be of great help in the adoption of IPM in the future.

The increased sensitivity of continuously laboratory-reared populations in the current studies may be due to some deleterious genetic effects or to inbreeding depression that occurred during the continuous laboratory rearing for 3 and 8 generations. This therefore suggests careful selection of test insects for insecticide testing.

Honey Bees & Pollinators
Pollinators: A Key to Successful and Sustainable IPM
Animals provide pollination services for more than 75% of all staple crops and 90% of all flowering plants in the world. In India, more than 55 Mha of the cultivation area's 160 Mha is under bee-dependent crops. India is one of the regions with great diversity of pollinators and native honey bee species.
This fact is emphasized by an estimate that pollination services by honey bees result in 20 times more product value than the value of honey and wax produced by them.

Biotechnological Approaches in Insect Pest Management
Heterorhabditis bacteriophora was genetically modified to express Caenorhabditis elegans Hsp70A (heat-shock protein genes) to increase heat tolerance and use in insect control. Crop improvement through genetic manipulation of Bt toxin, inhibitory digestive amylase genes (amylase, cysteine, proteinases, etc.) and lectin synthesis genes and plant-derived insecticides have also shown their potential in insect control. Genetic engineering has also shown promise for improving crop protection strategy by improving the effectiveness of arthropod natural enemies by modifying the volatile organic compounds (VOCs).
An understanding of the fundamental aspects and use of biotechnology is therefore certainly useful in the deployment and development of biotech products for use in the control of insect pests.
