Abstract
India is one of the world‟s largest jute producing country. Among all States West Bengal is alone contributes 77% of the Indian jute. Jute crop requires humid tropical climates. It well distributed in areas with rainfall of 2,500 mm spread over vegetative growth period of the crop with no cloudiness. It requires alluvial soils of good depth, receiving silt from the annual floods are the best for jute cultivation. Insect pests are one of the main constrains for underscoring jute production. The jute crop was damaged by various pest like jute semilooper (Anomis sabulifera Guen) accounts for 90% of losses of leaves, whereas beetarmy worm accounting yearly 20% yield loss of jute fiber, yellow mite (Polyphagotarsonemus latus Banks) and root-knot nematode (Meloidogyne incognita Chitwood) were recorded as the major pests of jute. To ensure and to stabilize production, farmers generally apply huge amount of insecticides of different newer brands. insect pest population evolved resistance to chemical pesticides due to producing large number of offspring with highest degree of mutation, variation, coevolution and natural selection. Therefore, emphasize on biological control in modern IPM practice to control insect pest population, by their natural enemy, predator and parasitoids is a time-needed programme. The current review is a gross view on the processes of effective management of major insect pest of jute by biological agents under modern IPM Practices which broadly covers different scientific publication in different journals and contemporary works of the scientists.
