Plant pests apart from causing direct damage are the limiting factors in export trade and major concern in SPS compliance. Recording and mapping of pests form the basis for policy/ decision makers to take informed decisions on plant protection measures to be employed and regulatory decisions on restricting movement of plants and plant materials to prevent the spread of plant pests. The mapping of plant pest enables to identify the pest prevalence as high/ moderate/ low/ nil. This information will be handy to formulate pest management strategies and exploring the possibilities of declaring areas as low pest prevalence and pest free areas for enabling market access. National Institute of Plant Health Management has taken a proactive role to compile pests reported in India and map pest distribution on more than 100 economically important crops. The database has more than 3000 pests reported on 100 crops with more than 8000 references.
