Generalist semiloopers of the genus Anomis are one of the most notorious defoliator pests of different economic crops throughout the world. Numerous studies on biology and management of different Anomis spp. have been conducted throughout the world for more than seven decades (1956-2025). Pest fitness is also influenced by the genetic traits specific to the population and different biotic as well as abiotic factors. Now, it is imperative to study the bioecology and alternative management strategy for different Anomis spp. including A. sabulifera on different crops to predict their outbreaks. This review will obviously support the use of different sustainable management strategies like trap cropping for sustainable production of different economic crops against such generalist semiloopers. Future researches can use this information to formulate proper sustainable IPM against this notorious semiloopers in near future.
