Abstract

Sitotroga cerealella (Olivier) (Lepidoptera: Gelechiidae), commonly known as Angoumois grain moth or paddy moth, is a serious primary feeder and a cosmopolitan pest of all kinds of cereals. The infestation starts in standing field crop and additional damage to the grain can then occur through the attack of secondary insect pests. Given the pest status of this insect, proper management tactics must be developed to control S. cerealella. However, management of S. cerealella is still much dependent on the use of toxic chemicals that can trigger adverse effects on environment and human health. Thus, there is a dire need to explore newer alternatives that would serve the purpose of grain protection without devastating the environment. It is thereby helpful to review the literature and provide a comprehensive overview on S. cerealella. The paper focuses on distribution, biology, development and modes of management for the pest, as well as identifies key gaps in literature for the advancement of future research towards ecofriendly and sustainable management of this pest in the near future.
