Foreword

Biodiversity or, the diversity of life has qlways fascinated people everywhere. It constitutes the outcome of the evolutionary processes of living organisms. The numbers of the flora and the fauna and their diversities increased geometrically through perhaps 2.5 billion years, proliferating by biological processes, and controlled by natural selection, filling almost every habitable ecological niche all around us. Biodiversity, also called "natural capital" consists of every form of life from microbes to the mightiest beasts and the gigantic trees. Bangladesh with her warm and humid climate is very rich in biodiversity including mammals, birds, reptiles, amphibians, marine and freshwater species, angiosperms, soil organisms, insects, etc. To date, a lot of discussions have taken place in our country, mostly centred around the higher plants and animals. Insects constitute a great richness in biodiversity, contributing a massive 70 per cent share in the global animal kingdom, notwithstanding the comparative negligence in their studies and documentation.

Documentation on the diverse insects, mites and vegetable crop pests in Bangladesh has been rather scanty and sporadic. It is difficult to get the scientific names along with the taxonomic position of all the recorded insect and mite pest species of vegetable crops in one document. Efforts have been made in the present publication to bring together all insect and mite pests associated with the vegetable crops recorded in whatever form since 1948 to date, along with their current scientific names, orders, families, pest status, etc.

The insect and mite pest diversity in the vegetable crops ecosystems will not only remind us of their richness and status, but will also help us understand their roles in maintaining the natural balance in the ecosystem. This will also facilitate the research and documentation of insects from other cropping systems. It is hoped that the publication will be of use to the students, academics, scientists, extension personnel, environmentalists, etc.

This publication is an additional outcome of the Biodiversity Strategic Action Plan project. I appreciate the hard work and sincere efforts of Dr. G. P. Das in preparing such a handy and useful document.

Abstract

Since 1948 (the practical beginning of the crop entomology in the area now

called Bangladesh) the insect and mite pests of different crops have been

recorded and documented. The paper reports the insect and mite pests

recorded and documented during 1948 and 2003 from the vegetable crops

(brinjal, potato, sweet potato, aroids, yams, cabbage, cauliflower, knolkhol, radish,

turnip, lady's finger, tomato, cucurbrts, beans, kangkong, lettuce and amaranthus)

ecosystems with their common and scientific names, orders, families and pest

status (key I major, minor and occasional). Over 175 species of insect and mite

pests have been recorded from the vegetable crops ecosystems in Bangladesh.

This testifies the great diversity of the insect and mite pests in the vegetable

crops ecosystems here.

Introduction

Research on the crop entomology in the region now called Bangladesh practically started from 1948 after the partition of the British India. Since then the insect and mite pests of different crops have been recorded and documented in different journals, reports, books, reviews, etc. It is hard to get all information together in one place. In the present contribution attempts have been made to compile the insect and mite pest species recorded from different vegetable crops (brinjal, potato, sweet potato, aroids, yams, cabbage,

cauliflower, knolkhol, radish, turnip, lady's finger, tomato, cucurbits, beans, kangkong, lettuce and amaranthus) with their common and scientific names, orders,families and pest status (key I major, minor and occasional). Pertinent references have been thoroughly consulted and cited.

List of the insect and mite pest species associated with the important vegetable crops ecosystems in Bangladesh

The recorded insect and mite pest species of the important vegetable crops in Bangladesh are listed in Table 1. Attempts have been made to use the current scientific names of the insect and mite pest species. In some cases the synonyms have also been given.

Conclusion

Many insect and mite pest species recorded by different authors as key I major pests have now attained the status of minor pests as revealed by the practical field experiences. Similarly, many major I minor insect and mite pest species have now become occasional pests. Even the existence of some early recorded insect and mite pest species of vegetables crops is now doubtful and it is expected that some are now extinct species. This is due to the changing cropping pattern, cropping intensity, prophylactic use of insecticides, change of climate, etc. However, a comprehensive country wide survey for a duration of at least three years is necessary to ascertain the present diversity of the insect and mite pest species of the vegetable crops ecosystems in this country.
