Abstract
Sweet peppers (Capsicum annuum) (Solanaceae) fruits have been used as a food ingredient in Peru for more than 8,000 years. Then gradually, the plant has been cultivated in several countries worldwide. The fruits of the plant can be added to soups and stews as spices. These were reported to treat fevers, seasickness, muscle sprains, or soreness. Thrips, whiteflies, mites, and aphids were critical pests in sweet peppers. Therefore, effectively managing this important fruit to improve its yields and quality is very important. Pesticides have harmful effects on the environment and health of people. Therefore, alternative pest management strategies become more advisable to control pests of sweet pepper. These strategies including intercropping of sweet pepper with other plants, oviposition deterrents, natural enemy release, use of resistant cultivars, and eliciting plant defenses are implemented as environment-friendly control methods.
