Current status and prospect of pests on Moringa oleifera

The present study was conducted to summarize the domestic and foreign research findings of Moringa oleifera, including the main pests species, their damage, occurrence and control technologies. However, there were some limitations existed in present research on pests of M. oleifera, for example, species of insect pests were unknown, pest control technology was simple, and dynamics of pest population had not been studied. According to existing problems, some relevant suggestions are put forward, which include making a comprehensive investigation and identification of pests on M. oleifera, strengthening systematic study on biological characteristics of pests , investigating natural enemies of pests and actively carrying out research work of biological control, studying forecasting technology of main pests, establishing integrated pest management system of M. oleifera.
