Abstract

Wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) is one of the major staple food and cereal crop in all over the world as well as in Pakistan. Agriculture sector contributes 18.9% to Gross Domestic Product and plays an important role in the economy. There are many biotic and abiotic factors responsible for reduced wheat productivity. Many insect pests are associated with wheat which attack on different stages of crop, cause damage and ultimately results in yield reduction. Wheat crop is attacked by Aphid, Wheat weevil, Wheat midges, Cereal leaf beetle, White grubs, Termites, Grasshopper, Hessian fly, Flea beetles, Armyworm, Wheat stem sawfly, Helicoverpa armigera and Pink Graminous Stem Borer. This review aims to enlist important insect pest fauna of wheat and their damages to wheat crop, so that sustainable pests control measures should be adapted to minimize pest infestation and yield losses in the wheat crop.
