Abstract

Potato (Solanum tuberosum L.) is the most important dicotyledonous plant and important source of human food. It is an important cash crop of India and the fifth major food crop of the world. The crop requires cool, temperate regions or elevation of approximately 2,000 m. The cultivation needs cool nights and well drained soil with good moisture. But the crop is attacked by variety of insects. The crop yield has increased steadily but the pest has been a major constraint limiting the crop yield potential. Due to diverse climate of India, the insects differ in their feeding habits. The pests of potato can be classified as sucking pest or sap/ foliage feeders, defoliators, nematodes, etc.
