In many tropical countries, bananas are considered staple foods due to their role as a fruit crop. 102.02817 million tons of bananas are produced worldwide, with India leading the world in production with a 29.19% share (FAOSTAT-2013). Banana pseudostem weevil (BPW) (Odoiporus longicollis Oliver) is one of a number of insect pests that significantly reduce banana production in Asia. Many of the insecticides that were previously recommended for treating the pest were either banned, phased out, or had limited use due to various dangerous risks. Therefore, it is necessary to standardize effective insecticides and application techniques. The biology, life cycle, distribution and management of Odoiporus longicollis are the main topics of this review. It focuses on cultural, mechanical, biological and chemical control, and other areas of damage and management.
