Abstract
Soybean (Glycine max) is a globally
important crop, essential for food, feed, and biofuel production. However, its
productivity is significantly threatened by a diverse range of insect pests. These
pests including mainly gridle beetle, aphids, white fly, stink bug, bean leaf beetle,
Spodoptera litura and soybean pod borers these cause economic looses by directly
feeding on plant tissues, transmitting diseases, or affecting seed quality and yield.
This review provides a comprehensive overview of soybean insect pests,
including their diversity, identification, life cycle and ecology, with a focus
on their impact across different soybean-growing regions. The dynamics of pest
outbreaks are examined in the context of environmental factor like temperature
humidity and soil. In addition to its integrated pest management approaches,
encompassing biological control agents also included. Biocontrol agents are used
to reduce insect pests of soybean.
