Abstract
The mungbean, Vigna radiata (L.), is also referred to as the greengram, maash, monggo, or munggo. It is a highly nutritious, quick-growing legume crop grown in a number of Asian, East African, and Australian countries. mungbeans are a great source of protein, vitamins, carbohydrates and fibre etc. Numerous biotic and abiotic factors have a negative impact on the productivity and seed quality of mungbean, including insect pests and surrounding environment, making it more expensive despite its enormous earning potential. Usually, various insect pests can damage mungbean crops at all stages of growth and cause severe yield losses. These traditional chemical management tactics failed to control these insects effectively, leading to significant yield losses. In these situations, it becomes crucial to research some eco-friendly alternatives to managing insect pests while establishing an integrated pest management strategy. This article discusses all such major insect pests and their management tactics.
