Abstract

The problem in Industrial forest plantations confront from insect pests, with an emphasis on Indonesian Acacia crassicarpa and Eucalyptus species The reported insect pests Glycyphana nicobarica, Helopeltis theivora, Altica sp., and Spodoptera exigua are examined in this paper. Chemical procedures are not used as a last resort in management strategies, which prioritise environmental sustainability. Instead, they are integrated into cultural, mechanical, and biological controls, along with preventive measures. In order to stop and prevent insect pest infestations, this article promotes an integrated strategy that gives priority to environmental and economic concerns. This article supports sustainable practises in industrial forest plantations by highlighting balanced control strategies and proactive planning.
