Abstract
Sorghum [Sorghum bicolor (Linnaeus)] also known as Jowar is an important food and fodder crop of dryland agriculture with wide range of adaptability to various agro-ecological conditions in the semi-arid tropics and cultivated on marginal, fragile, and drought-prone environments. Sorghum is attacked by around 150 insect pest damage from seedling stage to maturity, of which sorghum shoot fly, Atherigona soccata (Rondani) is a notorius pest which is responsible for causing a loss of 80–90% of grain, and 68% of fodder yield in sorghum due to its regular occurrence. To manage pest problem, farmers still rely on pesticides use, but excessive use of chemical has resulted many problems. Hence, integration of all these approaches in a unified manner has exposed more good results for eco-friendly management of shoot fly and consequently high yield of sorghum obtained.
