Abstract: Insecticides play a crucial role in agriculture for pest control and increasing crop yields, but their use can have unintended consequences on non-target organisms, including insects that provide essential ecosystem services such as pollination and natural pest control. This study aims to assess the impact of insecticide use on non-target insect populations in vegetable farms located in northern India. Field surveys were conducted on three farms, with two farms implementing insecticide use and one farm serving as a control without insecticide application. Data on insect abundance and diversity were collected using sweep netting and pitfall trapping methods. Additionally, soil properties and vegetation characteristics were measured to identify potential factors influencing insect populations. The findings revealed a significant adverse effect of insecticide use on non-target insect populations. The two farms employing insecticides exhibited considerably lower insect abundance and diversity compared to the farm without insecticide use. Notably, there was a substantial decline in the abundance of beneficial insects, such as predatory beetles and parasitic wasps. Furthermore, a positive correlation was observed between soil organic matter content and plant diversity with insect abundance and diversity. These results suggest that enhancing soil health and implementing agroecological practices, such as intercropping and crop rotation, could help alleviate the negative impacts of insecticide use on non-target insects. In conclusion, this study emphasizes the importance of considering the ecological impacts of agricultural practices and emphasizes the necessity for more sustainable and integrated pest management strategies that minimize harm to non-target organisms. By adopting approaches that prioritize the preservation of non-target insect populations, we can achieve both effective pest control and the maintenance of a healthy and balanced agricultural ecosystem.
