Abstract
Hadda beetle is a major pest of solanaceous crops all over the world, is one of the most serious defoliators of eggplant, resulting in significant economic damage. It is a polyphagous pest that feeds on a variety of plants, with brinjal being the most popular. Both grubs and adults consume the leaf's green substance and skeletonize it, leaving just the top epidermal layer. The plant’s growth and development are severely impeded, and the yield is significantly reduced. One week after transplanting, the % infestation starts. The environment affects the population dynamics of pest species. Insect infestation and multiplication are affected both directly and indirectly by several prevalent meteorological characteristics such as maximum and minimum temperature, wind velocity, minimum and maximum humidity, sunshine, and rainfall. According to studies on its biology, females lay eggs in batches during entire life and the larvae go through four moults. Premating period, pre oviposition period, oviposition period, incubation period, larval period, pre pupal period, pupal period, and adult period duration vary for each stage of its life cycle. Pests were present throughout the year due to their diverse host range. Profit diminishes as the number of insect pest applications rises. IPM is a system which involves many of appropriate techniques and approaches as possible in a compatible way to keep pest populations below those that cause economic harm. Pest management strategies that are well chosen and implemented will have positive economic, ecological, and societal benefits. More research on the impact of ecological factors on different life stages of Henosepilachna vigintioctopunctata is required so that they may be used to develop IPM strategies for successful management.
