About The Book
The rapid change in the agro-ecosystem leaves a snag in the establishment of harmony in the discord of the disturb ecosystem due to wide usage of chemical pesticides, fertilizers and synthetic plant growth regulators. The long-term effect were overlooked hence, boom of one time become bane for the ecosystem degradation. At the present context, it had become indispensable to look for sustainable crop protection management approaches for insect pests, deseases, nematodes and weed and the present book is and effort to this direction. The book contains recent information on microbial pesticides, Hexamermis sp. on Leptocoris, Biocontrol for pest management, HaNPV, Ovicides for management, Recent advances in Ocimum for IPM, Termite management, Insect pests of NEG region, Karnal Bunt threat to grain trade, Foliar blight of wheat, Diseases of NEH region, Eco-friendly management of wit in chick pea, Predictive management of powdery mildew, Viral diseases of fruits, vegetables and spices, Tomato leaf curl virus, Air and soil pollutants on plant parasites, Nematode management of flowering crops, Pests and diseases of nut fruits, Application of molecular markers for resistance genes, Diseases of linseed, Induced resistance, Rice blast management, Chitinase against fungi, Taxonomic status of semi-endo parasitic nematodes, Induced plant resistance, Precision farming in nematode management, Acarines as biocontrol agents, Biocontrol agents for phytonematodes, Regulatory measures for nematode management, Decontamination of pesticide residues, Microbial metabolites, Management through seed and weed management for sustainable agriculture production. The book “Crop Protection: Management Strategies,” not only provides references but also serves as guide and inspiration for future research into the realm of biological, chemical, physical and quarantine aspects and onslaughts of modern agriculture on it. The scientists, teachers, students, scholars, administrators and policy markers dealing with pest and disease management in particular and plant protection in general will find this book very useful and informative.
