Abstract
Vegetables are an essential source of carbohydrates, minerals,
vitamins, dietary fibre and other nutrients along with health promoting factors
[7]. There are so many factors that spoil vegetables such as microorganisms,
enzymes, air, light, insects, rodents, parasites, and temperature. Uttarakhand
is blessed with diverse agro-climates zones with distinct seasons, making it
possible to grow wide range of vegetables. The vegetable production rate in
Uttarakhand was reported at 1,789.300 tons in 2022. This records a decrease
from the previous number of 1,812,840 ton for 2021. Low intake of vegetables
and fruits causes about 31% of ischaemic heart disease and 11% of stroke across
the world, and if these two important food items are consumed properly about
2.7 million lives can be saved each year [6]. Mostly all types of vegetables are attacked
by pests all over the world due to climatic change. Some are spoiled by
diseases. This study presents current survey on vegetables pests and associated
problems at the study site. The most dominated insect pest belongs to order
Coleoptera followed by Lepidoptera, Hemiptera, and Diptera. This describes
pests control by several methods and insecticide and techniques. This study
aims towards the insect pest management without the use of chemicals
insecticides and promoting the use of biological controls instead of chemical
compound [1].
