About The Book

Insects are small creatures that are unavoidable by humans and others animals. Their impacts in the universe are so numerous that they cannot be exhausted. This immense book is a complete source of valuable information on insects. The first ten chapters describe the fundamentals of technical entomology and the later chapters of the book are devoted to an analysis of the more important insect pest of the major crops. It is hoped that the book will be highly useful not only for students, teachers, researchers of entomology, zoology, plant pathology, botany and extension personnel but also to agriculturist, horticulturists, foresters, veterinarians and laymen dealing with insects pest and their management.
