Insect pests are the major biotic factors that cause yield loss in crop plants. The major control methods for these insect pests are the use of chemical pesticides, but they create health issues for growers and consumers. Hence, the antixenosis resistance as a main tool in the host plant resistance can be used in the integrated pest management (IPM) technique. The antixenosis is the non-preference of the insect either for feeding, oviposition, or shelter on the host plant due to morphological characters of the plant it possesses. The antixenosis characters like trichomes, surface waxes, color and shape, thickness of the cell wall and cuticle, leaf and root toughness, pubescence, frego bract, etc., were modified in the plants to reduce the damage by insect pests. They are not a permanent solution, and other management strategies should also be employed to control the pest.
