Abstract

Pomegranate high valued fruit crop which was  barely few hundred acres in 1960-69 has shot up roughly to  1,93,000 ha with annual production 13.46 lakh ton and  productivity of 10.27 ton/ha in 2014-15 in India, which is  c o n t r i b u ti n g 7 0 % o f t h e t o t a l a r e a f r o m Maharashtra(Anon.,2015).Such important fruit crop is attacked by several insect and non-insect pests as well as  diseases. Therefore, it is necessary to adopt integrated pest  management in pomegranate. In this context the knowledge  of key pest, natural enemies, pollinators , their life cycle and  scouting of pest has become important in Integrated pest  management .
