With the advancement of agriculture, the large-scale resurgence of insect pest reaches to destructive levels despite of low initial density. Therefore, judicious cultural practices which includes killing the dormant stage of insect pest complexes by stubble burning, proper tillage and flooding before field preparation, maintaining proper spacing of seed or seedling, use of balanced fertilizer, synchronization of sowing time, selection of appropriate crop and variety are considered as one of the components for management of crop pests. Among the different crops the cultural practices are mostly applied in rice, wheat and sugarcane for controlling borer pest complexes in South East Asia. Habitat manipulation is now being added as new component of insect pest management of which maintaining structural and cultural diversity, providing overwintering site, orientation of windbreak designs and refuge, cultivation of trap plants, maintaining banker plant system, utilization of herbivore induced plant volatile, nectar food management, landscape for conservation of natural enemy and use of ecological engineering technique are predominant to manage insect pest problems of crop. The application of habitat manipulations are very common practices for management insect pests in rice, pulses, oilseed and fruit crops by most of the progressive growers in western countries.
