The oilseeds crop occupies an important position in agriculture economy in the
world. Indian agriculture has made considerable progress, particularly in respect
of food crops such as wheat and rice in irrigated areas; however, performance
has not been so good in case of other crops particularly oilseeds, pulses, and
coarse cereals. Therefore, after achieving self sufficiency in food grains the
government is focusing attention on these agricultural commodities. On the
oilseeds map of the world, India occupies a prominent position, both in regard to
acreage and production. India is the 4th largest edible oil economy in the world
and contributes about 10 percent of the world oilseeds production, 6-7% of the
global production of vegetable oil, and nearly 7 percent of protein meal. This
sector also has an important place in the Indian agricultural sector covering an
area of about 26.5 million hectares, with total production of over 25.3 million
tonnes in the triennium ending 2015-16 (GOI, 2016). This constitutes about
14.8 per cent of the gross cropped area in the country. A wide range of oilseed
crops is produced in different agro-climatic regions of the country. Insectspests
are one of the limiting factors in the production of oilseed crops.
Management of these pest problems by using possible control techniques could
increase the quality and quantity of the products. These crops are damaged by
a more number of insect pests, of which some are more serious. These pests
can be effectively controlled by the integration of different techniques such as
use of various safe insecticides/biopesticides, some modification in cultural
practices and use of pest tolerant varieties. Integrated pest management
approaches will help to increase the production and productivity of oilseed crops
by reducing the pest damage without any adverse effect on the agro- system
and erosion in the environment.
