Abstract

Establishment of extensive Sandalwood plantations has been progressively increasing recently. Many insects attack Sandalwood plantations as well as while it is being raised in large quantities as seedlings in nurseries. Although some insect species are observed in nearly all locations, many others are of only local significance. Relatively few insect species cause significant injury and are only a problem when the population exceeds damaging thresholds. This review attempts to consolidate information on the insect pest problems associated with Sandalwood, feasible management measures identified so far as well as the research gaps which needs addressing in future.
