Abstract :

Modern agriculture is facing multiple difficulties, including climate fluctuation, an alarming increase in human population, biodiversity disruption, different pest attacks, and depletion in crop productivity. Among all of these issues, pest attack is the most challenging for farmers and agriculture itself. To uproot these pests, nature allies, beneficial insects, are the most successful and accepted method. These nature allies are categorized as predators, parasitoids, pollinators, insect vectors, and decomposers. They play a crucial role in pest regulation by directly feeding to conveying organic components to them. These insects can help in ecological as well as agricultural improvement by enhancing crop productivity and soil fertility. In this article, we may discuss the classification, their ecological and agricultural role, strategies to promote the use of beneficial insects in the field, their challenges and innovative technologies in future prospects.
