Current Trends in Plant Health Management
Pranab Dutta and Ardhendu Chakraborty
There are many phenomenal changes have taken place in crop protection in the world in last few decades. The changing scenario in insect pest complex of major agricultural, horticultural and plantation crops and forest trees, introduction of a number of new classes of pesticides, the management tactics developed for containing the pest species by the use of ecofriendly approaches, and the importance of biocontrol agents and biopesticides in an integrated insect pest management have made tremendous impact on plant health management. The present book has been designed to meet the requirements of graduate, postgraduate students, research scholars of agricultural and other universities of India and abroad. The chapters have been edited ensuring the exhaustive and thorough coverage of all the important topics of plant health management. The ever-accumulating information on various aspects of plant health issues has been judiciously tailored, lucidly presented and profusely illustrated. The immense advancement in theoretical and applied aspects that have taken place in the past few decades impelled us to bring out the book.
