Increased globalization and trade have made India a target for entry of many new alien insect pests. One such unintentional recent introduction is the cassava mealybug (CMB), Phenacoccus manihoti on cassava. Monitoring on the occurrence and damage potential of CMB on cassava was undertaken during 2020. Among the places surveyed, maximum damage score (4–5) and density of the mealybug (>1000/shoot tip) were recorded in Salem and Namakkal districts of Tamil Nadu and Thrissur district of Kerala. In the absence of effective native natural enemies and other methods of control, CMB might pose a major crisis to the cassava industry in India. The prospects of its suppression by classical biological control are quite vibrant and the initiative to import the parasitoid wasp, Anagyrus lopezi from Thailand and the Republic of Benin is already being taken by ICAR-NBAIR, Bengaluru, India.Keywords

The second decade of the 21 century saw five insects, viz. cassava mealybug Phenacoccus manihoti Matile-Ferrero (Hemiptera: Coccomorpha: Pseudococcidae), desert locust Schistocerca gregaria Forskål (Orthoptera: Acrididae), fall armyworm (FAW; Spodoptera frugiperda (J. E. Smith) (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae), rugose spiralling whitefly, Aleurodicus rugioperculatus Martin (Hemiptera: Aleyrodidae) and southern American pinworm Tuta absoluta (Meyrick) (Lepidoptera: Gelechiidae) invading India having crossed international borders. While early warning system along with potential of testing Metarhizium acridum (Green Muscle™) through the Food and Agricultural Organisation exists for desert locust, an early importation of parasitoid Anagyrus lopezi De-Santis (Hymenoptera:Encyrtidae) against cassava mealybug is the need of the hour. Documentation of versatile native parasitoids (9), predators (3) and pathogens (6) on FAW implies potential of biological control through conservation and augmentative approaches in maize ecosystems. Fortuitous introduction of Encarsia guadeloupae Viggiani (Hymenoptera: Aphelinidae) in the late nineties along with an invasive spiralling whitefly Aleurodicus dispersus offering successful biocontrol of rugose spiralling whitefly indicated long-term sustenance of parasitoids in perennial plantations. Nevertheless, the internally feeding invasive southern American pinworm in open fields and protected tomato cultivation need biological products as a component of integrated pest management. A quick response in terms of delimitation and eradication is anticipated for transboundary insects and is only possible through establishment of an operational national digital reporting system with coordination and collaborations of not only all governmental and private stakeholders of plant protection in India, but also forging cooperation at regional and international levels for timely and effective management of transboundary insects.Keywords
