Abstract

In the green revolution, most of the emphasis was on high-yielding cereal grains such as rice, wheat, and corn, while horticultural crops received little attention for their role in food security and reduction of poverty and malnutrition. Sustainable horticultural crop production should be considered in association with other agricultural crop production programs as a long-term approach to end poverty, improve nutrition, and sustain economic growth. These crops are well-suited for commercial, small scale and subsistence farming and constitute over 90 % of the products grown in home gardens. The population of world is already over seven billion and is expected to increase by another two billions or more by mid–century thereby exerting huge pressing to meet the growing need for food worldwide. The demand for food from horticultural crops is expected to increase even more as many Asian countries become more developed. Agriculture will be required to meet this food demand with less land, less water, and less labor. Although staple food is provided by the two main cereals, rice and wheat, food from horticultural crops such as beans, vegetables, and fruits is also significant for humans. The huge variety of food produced from horticultural crops will provide not only diversity in taste but also sources of nutrients, minerals, and vitamins for humankind to enjoy healthy food. Nonetheless, insect pests are constant threats to horticultural crop production. Insects are the principal causes of yield losses in cabbage, mango, and bean crops. Currently, pests such as insects, mites, bacteria, fungi, viruses, nematodes, and weeds often cause up to 40 % reduction in crop yields (SP-IPM 2010). Insect pests are responsible for a major part of these losses due to direct feeding damage and/or vectoring of viral, bacterial, and fungal diseases.
