Abstract
Soybean (Glycine max), a vital leguminous and oilseed crop, is
grown globally and serves as a primary protein and oil source. Its cultivation
faces significant challenges from numerous arthropod pests, which affect
various growth stages and cause severe yield losses. These pests, including
defoliators, stem borers, pod borers, and sucking insects, inflict damage by
feeding on the plant's foliage, stems, and seeds. Effective pest management in
soybean requires accurate identification and an understanding of pest life
cycles to inform timely interventions. Integrated Pest Management (IPM)
approaches—combining biological control agents, cultural practices, pheromone
traps, and selective chemical treatments—are critical for reducing pest
populations while minimizing ecological impacts. IPM strategies, by promoting
environmental balance, help mitigate yield losses and support sustainable
soybean production. The lifespan, possible harm, and control strategies of
major and minor insect pests of soybeans are highlighted in this review, with
an emphasis on IPM techniques appropriate for soybean-growing areas.
