Strategic implementation of conventional and advanced approaches to combat brinjal shoot and fruit borer

Brinjal shoot and fruit borer (Leucinodes orbonalis) is a major devastating brinjal pest that leads to substantial yield losses. Besides this, it also infests the other major vegetable crops such as tomato and okra. India has an excellent germplasm diversity of brinjal species that can be explored to manage this pest. This review article thoroughly discusses several eco-friendly and advanced approaches to managing the infestation of Leucinodes orbonalis (brinjal shoot and fruit borer). The collected information regarding pests has concluded that integrated pest management strategies effectively reduce yield losses in Brinjal. However, advanced approaches such as genetic engineering and utilization of molecular markers can also contribute to the screening and development of resistant cultivars, while this technique can also help to analyze the pesticidal resistance of plants.
