Aquatic insects are important pests of aquatic plants, but their control is often difficult because of their ability to fly and hide in water. The goal of this study was to evaluate the efficacy of an integrated pest management (IPM) approach for controlling hemipteran pests on citrus fruits. In this study, we evaluated three IPM approaches: biological control, chemical control and integrated pest management for controlling Hemiptera species that cause damage to citrus crops. Biological control is based on use of natural enemies as predators or parasitoids; chemical control uses chemicals such as insecticides or fungicides; while IPM combines both biological and chemical controls with other methods such as cultural practices like crop rotation and sanitation measures like hand picking. The study involves study of recent literature concluded in domain of biological and integrated pest management practises to control hemipteran pest on citrus fruit from year 2015 – 2017.
