Insect Pest Management for Healthy Seed Production

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Advances in Seed Production and Management

Abstract

Seeds are affected by majority of insects throughout the crop age. The majority of insect pests causing losses to seeds belong to order Coleoptera along with some species of Lepidoptera, Psocoptera, Hymenoptera, and Diptera. Apart from this, some mites species (class Acari) are also associated with seed. However few mites are beneficial insects and called as biocontrol agents. Hence, in order to develop and implement seed inset pest (SIP) management programs, knowing pests and beneficial insects is important. Generally, the integrated pest management (IPM) is a systemic approach in which different control measures act together to suppress economic control of pests. Consequently, the present chapter provides an overview of the important SIP, and then, the different SIP control methods are mentioned to choose them for an integrated SIP management program. Accordingly, different control strategies are used in the management of the SIP including resistant plant varieties, healthy seeds, sanitation and exclusion, seed treatment (using chemical and botanical pesticides), physical treatments (aeration, extreme temperatures and relative humidity, impact and removal, ionizing radiation, modified atmospheres), biological control, mating disruption, trapping, and packaging, and sealing will be discussed. Based on the conditions and available facilities, an appropriate control method or integration of several control measures could be selected in the SIP control programs.
