Host plant resistance is an effective approach to manage insect pests in vegetable crops. This involves the use of traits that deter or reduce feeding and reproduction involving mechanisms antibiosis, antixenosis, tolerance. These affect plant–insect interactions through production metabolites volatiles, which can modify behavior physiology. Tri-trophic between plants, insects, natural enemies also protect plants from herbivory increase parasitization. The transgenics genome editing provides new opportunities enhance host by introducing modifying genes involved insect-resistant traits. Understanding their with crucial for development pest management strategies are environmentally friendly economically sustainable. Overall, offers a promising reducing reliance on synthetic pesticides crop production, but continued studies required fully realize its potential.
