Abstract
Cucurbits, which are members of the Cucurbitaceae
family, also referred to as the guard family, have been found to be negatively
impacted by a variety of biotic limitations, the most significant of which are
insect pests. Effective and cost-effective pest management is needed, and this
calls for the application of mechanical, chemical, biological, and cultural
techniques. Effective pest management requires a combination of these many
approaches. Only with a sustained commitment to integrated pest management
techniques can pests be controlled (IPM). IPM includes crop rotations,
biological control, cultural techniques, the strategic use of resistant
varieties, and selective insecticides. Understanding how pests, plants, and the
environment interact is essential to integrated pest management (IPM). To preserve
crop productivity, IPM must guarantee the least amount of environmental
contamination and the best possible use of chemical pesticides. In this sense,
it's important to apply environmentally friendly pest management techniques by
correctly identifying the pest.
