I am pursuing my PhD research in agricultural entomology from OUAT, Bhubaneswar, Odisha, and conducting my research at ICAR-NRRI Cuttack, on the molecular and biochemical aspects of Insecticide resistance in rice brown planthopper (Nilaparvata lugens Stal). Here I am exploring the resistance status of BPH along with the molecular cause (genes) of resistance and enzymes responsible for xenobiotic detoxification of insecticides inside the insect body, which causes the excretion of chemicals in a simpler form after degradation via several important metabolic pathways.

I am very much interested and highly enthusiastic about collaborating with leading authors across the world for scientific writings to contribute a little from my side to the scientific society.

    Pest Management Science, 2026
    Exposure to sublethal stressor concentrations, which do not result in mortality, can trigger hormetic responses that enhance growth, reproduction or survival in both primary pest species and their secondary competitors, potentially contributing to the development of insecticide resistance and pest outbreaks. Hormesis, a dose‐dependent biphasic response characterized by low‐dose stimulation and high‐dose inhibition, has garnered increasing attention in entomology and acarology owing to its significant implications for pest management and ecosystem service provision. By contrast, hormesis in natural enemies, such as pathogens, parasitoids and predators, can enhance their biological control performance under specific conditions. Although these responses may offer short‐term benefits, they also introduce trade‐offs and potential long‐term risks. The underlying mechanisms of hormesis include hormonal modulation, stress‐induced activation of cellular repair pathways and enhanced detoxification processes. Despite its significance, our understanding of hormesis in ecologically important insects and mites remains limited, with critical knowledge gaps regarding species‐specific responses, the influence of environmental factors such as temperature and nutrition, and the long‐term ecological consequences of repeated low‐dose exposures. Furthermore, the interaction of multiple stressors, such as pesticide mixtures and abiotic factors such as climate change, remains poorly understood in the context of hormetic responses. Future research should focus on elucidating the molecular mechanisms of hormesis, its ecological implications, and the development of predictive models to assess its effects across various ecosystems. Integrating hormesis into pest management strategies could optimize pesticide use while minimizing adverse effects on beneficial organisms. Addressing these gaps is crucial for enhancing ecological resilience, safeguarding populations of beneficial organisms, and promoting sustainable agricultural practices in the face of environmental and anthropogenic challenges. © 2025 Society of Chemical Industry.
  • Weather-pest relationships: Seasonal incidence of sucking pests on Vigna radiata (L.) R. Wilczek (mungbean) in eastern Uttar Pradesh

    A field investigation was conducted to evaluate the seasonal incidence of major sucking pests of Vigna radiata (L.) R. Wilczek (mungbean)and their correlation with meteorological parameters under eastern Uttar Pradesh conditions. During the experimental period, incidence of sucking pests of Mungbean was recorded. Studies revealed that incidence of whitefly (Bemisia tabaci) was from 31st Standard Meteorological Week (SW). The highest incidence of whitefly was recorded at 37th SW (14.6 whitefly/cage). The incidence of Jassid (Empoasca kerri,) was recorded for the first time on 31st SW and peak incidence was recorded at 36th SW (6.30 jassids/cage). Thrips (Caliothrips indicus) was first time observed during 34th SW. The peak incidence of jassid was recorded at 35th SW with 3.6 per 10 flowers. White fly population had non- significant negative correlation with maximum and minimum temperature and non-significant and positive correlation with sunshine, relative humidity and rainfall. The correlation between population of jassid and weather parameters revealed that among all the weather parameters only sunshine (r = 0.692*) showed significant positive correlation. Thrips showed a non-significant negative correlation with minimum temperature and relative humidity. There was a positive and non-significant correlation between thrips population and maximum temperature, rainfall and sunshine hours. The findings bring out the influence of specific weather variables on the dynamics of some key sucking pests in mungbean. They bring out the importance of integrating climatic data into pest monitoring and forecasting systems for sustainable crop protection.

    Botanical insecticides, derived from plant sources, have been used for millennia, long before the advent of synthetic chemicals. Though marginalized since the Green Revolution, growing concerns about the environmental and health impacts of synthetic insecticides have revived interest in these natural alternatives. Lepidopteran pests, particularly caterpillars, remain among the most damaging agricultural threats and are still predominantly managed with synthetic insecticides. Botanical insecticides offer a promising alternative due to their biodegradability, reduced environmental persistence, and diverse bioactivities—including insecticidal, antifeedant, and repellent effects—linked to compounds from neem, jatropha, rotenone-containing plants, and other sources. Recent breakthroughs in nanoformulations, such as nanoemulsions and metallic or polymeric nanoparticles, have significantly enhanced the efficacy, delivery efficiency, and stability of botanical insecticides. Nano-encapsulated extracts—like neem or rosemary extracts combined with silver nanoparticles—have shown superior pest control at lower dosages and reduced phytotoxicity. Yet, these technological advances have outpaced our understanding of their ecological implications. Key knowledge gaps remain regarding long-term environmental impacts, resistance evolution in target pests, and non-target organism effects. Most research continues to focus on a narrow range of plant species and active ingredients, while broader issues like large-scale production, and field-scale efficacy are underexplored. To fully exploit the potential of botanical insecticides, future efforts must prioritize ecological risk assessment, broaden the spectrum of studied plants, and integrate molecular tools such as CRISPR-Cas9, RNA interference (RNAi), transcriptomics, and machine learning. These tools provide deeper insights into pest physiology and resistance mechanisms, promoting precision, resilience, and environmental safety. Realizing this vision will require interdisciplinary collaboration to develop greener extraction methods, establish harmonized regulatory pathways, and conduct rigorous ecological risk assessments. • Botanical insecticides offer eco-friendly control of Lepidopteran pests. • Key bioactives like neem, jatropha, and rotenone show diverse insecticidal actions. • Nano-formulations improve efficacy, delivery, and environmental safety. • Molecular tools and risk assessment are vital for future applications.

  • Insect Pest Management in Rice: The Case of Brown Planthopper
    Guru-Pirasanna-Pandi Govindharaj, Satyabrata Sarangi, Swagatika Sahoo, SD Mohapatra
    Plant Health Cases, 2025
    Rice cultivation is a major source of sustenance and employment for a large portion of the global population. Furthermore, the growing demand necessitates an increase in production; however, this is limited by biotic stresses, such as insect pests. More than 100 species of insect pests infest the rice crop throughout its vegetative and reproductive phases, though only a quarter of these are considered major pests. Among them, the brown planthopper, Nilaparvata lugens (Stål), is one of the most destructive, capable of damaging 70–100% of the crops during severe infestations. This phloem feeder causes hopper burn in rice-growing areas and is currently managed by insecticides. But monitoring through light traps, altering cultural practices, resistant varieties, conservation of its natural predators (mirid bugs, spiders, and coccinellid beetles), and judicious use of greener insecticides (biopesticides, botanicals, etc.) will keep the pest below the damaging level. Application of remote sensing for early detection, use of insect modelling techniques for prediction, and discovery of new breeding and molecular techniques for developing resistant rice cultivars would lead to more sustainable management of this notorious pest.
