Abstract
The valuable oilseed crop sesame (Sesamum indicum L.) is susceptible to A. catalaunalis that can result in severe productivity losses. Farmers use a variety of techniques to mitigate this harm. Insect predators and entomopathogenic nematodes are some examples of natural enemies that are used in biological control techniques to reduce pest populations. These biocontrol chemicals provide sustainable and environmentally beneficial solutions. Additionally, due to their inherent insecticidal qualities, botanical chemicals made from plants, such as neem, pyrethrum and tobacco, have showed promise in controlling this pests of sesame crops. For its efficient use, proper formulation and application methods are essential. Chemical pesticides also contribute significantly to pest management when utilised properly. For minimising adverse environmental effects, their planned application, suitable selection and adherence to safety regulations are crucial.
