Invasive Insects Outbreaks in India during the 21st Century-threat and Management

The word “Exotic” is developed from the Greek and Latin word meaning “not of a native species, or “alien species”. Alien arthropods threaten human health, threaten, food security, endanger valued species and disrupt ecosystem functions. The accelerating pace of commercialization and globalization creates opportunities for the movement of species to new areas of the world. Economic liberalisation has accelerated the movement of goods across borders and geographic obstacles without minimal quarantine, increasing the risk of exotic pest introduction into agroecosystems. Invasive Alien Species (IAS) are often regarded as one of the most serious dangers to the country's ecological and economic health. These species have a huge impact on biodiversity and natural agriculture systems, which are both extremely valuable. Pest invasions have lately been identified as a significant source of biodiversity loss. Preventing exotic species invasions is one of the most effective ways to limit the chance of invasion, but this requires recognising potential invasive species ahead of time.
