Insect pests refer to various species of insects that cause damage and harm to crops, livestock, households, and the environment. These pests can be found in agriculture, forestry, and urban areas, and can cause significant economic losses and health risks. Insect pests can damage plants by feeding on them, transmitting diseases, and competing for resources with beneficial insects. Controlling insect pests often requires integrated pest management strategies that may include biological, chemical, cultural, and physical control methods. Research in this area focuses on identifying and understanding insect pests, developing effective control measures, and minimizing their impact on the environment and human health.
