ABSTRACT
The review paper delves into the various applications of beneficial insects in agriculture and their vital functions in advancing environmentally friendly agricultural methods. It has been acknowledged that beneficial insects, such as pollinators, parasitoids, and predators, contribute to agricultural yield, biodiversity preservation, and integrated pest management (ipm). The efficacy of these insects in managing pest populations and augmenting pollination services has been underscored by a review of several research and case studies. Despite known obstacles like habitat needs and species-specific conservation initiatives, beneficial insects nevertheless have a substantial potential to improve environmental health and global food security. The goal of this review is to present a thorough understanding of the functions of beneficial insects while promoting more study and application to maximize their application in sustainable agriculture.
