Cole crops are the most important and attractive vegetables, belonging to the family Cruciferae are extremely grown all over the world. In India, their annual production has been reported to be about 191.77 million metric tons so chips into the economy by a huge amount. Pieris brassicae, one of the dreaded insect pests incur damage to different vegetables to a tune of 40%. To curb this pest damage various synthetic insecticides are applied, albeit showing promising results yet posing drastic negative imprints on non-target organisms, environment and pest resistance. These drawbacks demand a perfect alternative which seals all the glitches created by the chemical insecticides. For this Infective Juveniles (IJs) of Entomopathogenic Nematodes (EPNs) act as perfect biological agents. So, work done in these lines has been reviewed to facilitate students and researchers for advanced research related to entomopathogenic nematodes and P. brassicae.
