Green gram (Vigna radiata) of Fabaceae is an important legume crop vulnerable to various insect pests, impacting its productivity and yield. The insect management strategies to protect green in such a way that it environmentally viable. Preventive cultural practices, including crop rotation and planting resistant varieties, reduce pest pressure. Early detection through regular monitoring allows timely intervention. Biological control methods, such as introducing beneficial insects, offer sustainable and eco-friendly pest regulation. Mechanical control through handpicking can be employed on a small scale. Trap crops divert pests away from the main crop. As a last resort, natural-based pesticides may be used, but chemical pesticides are discouraged due to their environmental impact. Integrating these approaches into an Integrated Pest Management (IPM) system ensures effective control green gram crops from insect pest.
