Identification and Selection of Pest-Resistant Plants Against Helicoverpa armigera

The agricultural sector is vital to the economic growth of industrialized and developing nations alike since it offers the raw materials, food, crops, and vegetables needed for urbanization as well as the raw materials for manufacturing. Food consumption is rising in both wealthy and deprived countries. The rate of economic growth will deteriorate if we are incapable of meeting demand. Furthermore, the number of pesticides in the food supply was once supplementarily elevated for economic development. Only 25% of the country's total gross domestic product is produced by the department of agriculture, which facilitates an enterprise that employs almost 70% of the people. Agriculture departments have had maximum billing during the past 50 years, particularly in a number of five-year plans. It also has a substantial impact on a number of businesses, notably food grains, sugar, tea, and textiles, all of which fall under distinct categories. For these reasons, the success of inputs in industries endangers agronomy. 58% of rural households rely on it for the development of their means of subsistence, and mankind plays a significant role in the economic goals of the agriculture department's employment. India produces more tomatoes than China, although this is second in the world, according to the 2021 report. India came fourth in terms of agricultural production, with a yearly output of 21 million metric tons of tomatoes.

Chemical pesticides have been widely used in agriculture continuously, but sometimes this has been demonstrated to be neither practical nor cost-effective. For this reason, a lot of insecticides are used, which causes major problems for people and biodiversity. In addition, a majority of the pesticide travels deep into the ground and contaminates the water level. Eventually, many chemical pesticides arrive in the aquatic environment and are deposited in the soil. So far, chemical fertilizers and insecticides have been used to enhance productivity, but this has resulted in poor soil quality, and plant development that has led to genetic variances. These are problematic for both the plant and mankind to directly harm them. Numerous negative consequences on the environment have been noted as a result of the development and ongoing use of chemical pesticides and insecticides. Consequently, a greener option was required, which represents a way to enhance pest management techniques so that more agricultural goods of higher quality and quantity might be produced. As a result, there is a growing need to create new biopesticides. They play a crucial role in the conservation of the environment and crops because they suppress bio-pests in a non-toxic manner.
