Abstract:

The colour of plant parts, light and texture play an important role in attracting insect pests and further their utility in pest management. There is extreme need for pesticidal alterations in integrated pest management. Therefore, manipulation of colours in pest management is worthwhile ecofriendly strategy of pest control.

Keywords:

Colour attractivity, sucking insect pests, crop plants, ecofriendly control.
