Abstract

Agrotis ipsilon (Lepidoptera:Noctuidae) known as greasy cutworm is an important destructive polyphagous pest of many crops distributed throughout the world. Larvae are polyphagous with a wide and diverse host range, as a result of which they cause extensive damage to a wide range of agricultural and horticultural crops, mainly at the seedling stage. Insecticide resistance has grown as a result of the widespread and arbitrary use of pesticides, and pesticide residues have accumulated in food. There is a growing need for new pest management strategies to limit the threat to humans, the environment, and non-target organisms as a result of these pests. This review encompasses the use of biorational compounds for the management of this pest. It could offer a broad perspective to direct the search for novel pesticidal tactics against A. ipsilon that are focused on environmental sustainability.
