Ecofriendly Insect Pest Management
The farmers in developing countries are now renewing interest I approaches such as biological control, biopesticides and cultural practices to control insect pests. However, these non-chemical methods are not popularised among farmers in developing countries. These eco-friendly methods will play an important role in pest management in future, since they will bring about sustainable development. A Systematic approach is required to develop and adapt the eco-friendly programmes for many crops and for today's production practices. This book deals with topics in the following areas: IPM General Aspects; Entomopathogens; Microbial Pesticides; Entomophages; Biological Control; Botanical Pesticides; Cultural Control Measures; Vector Control; Genetic Techniques; Attractants and Repellents.
The Versatile Visionary Symphony of Leadership, Science and Enterprise
An autobiography of Dr. B. Vasantharaj David having 7 decades of experience in leading scientific and multinational agrochemical companies, and discovery in science and expertise in crop protection and toxicology and institutions building to be inspirational to the future young generation. He has been responsible for the development of Fredrick Institute of Plant Protection and Toxicology (Presently International Institute of Biotechnology & Toxicology and Jai Research Foundation, Gujarat. He discovered about 250 new species of whiteflies and an international expert in this group of insects. His wide experience with agrochemical industry particularly in product development helped the industr...
Guide for Insect Morphology
The main criteria of consolidation of this book "Guide for Insect Morphology" (Objective based) is to fulfil the need of the students those who are appearing for JRF, SRF, ARS, NET, Civils and several other competitive exams. To consolidate this book it has taken several days to collect, edit and update the vast literatures from various reference books, journals and different websites. Due to compilation of all the topics into one books it may be chance of missing some of the things which will be most useful to the students, so we try to consolidate the basic subject (Insect Morphology) which are at most important in the entomology which will give a vast knowledge within a short period of ti...

Parasitoids in Pest Management
Pests cause economic damage to crops and stored products, while vectors are responsible for the transmission of disease-causing agents in human beings and livestock. Although the application of synthetic pesticides in agriculture has given immediate relief, it has also caused well-known side effects, leading to a general consensus among entomologists and agriculturists to shift towards other ecofriendly pest management. Insect natural enemies consisting of predators, parasitoids, and pathogens have attracted the attention of scientists across the globe. These natural enemies exist in agroecosystems and suppress the populations of pests. Parasitoids are farmers’ friends and the most success...
Experimental Techniques in Host-Plant Resistance
The earliest land-plants evolved around 450 million years ago from aquatic plants devoid of vascular systems. The diversification of flowering plants (angiosperms) during the Cretaceous period is associated with speciation in insects. Early insect herbivores were mandibulate, but the evolution of vascular plants led to the co-evolution of other forms of herbivory, such as leaf feeding, sap-sucking, leaf mining, tissue borer, gall forming and nectar-feeding. Plant defense against biotic stress is an adaptive evolution by plants to increase their fitness. Plants use a variety of strategies to defend against damage caused by herbivores. Plant defense mechanisms are either inbuilt or induced. In...
Encyclopaedia of the History of Science, Technology, and Medicine in Non-Western Cultures
Here, at last, is the massively updated and augmented second edition of this landmark encyclopedia. It contains approximately 1000 entries dealing in depth with the history of the scientific, technological and medical accomplishments of cultures outside of the United States and Europe. The entries consist of fully updated articles together with hundreds of entirely new topics. This unique reference work includes intercultural articles on broad topics such as mathematics and astronomy as well as thoughtful philosophical articles on concepts and ideas related to the study of non-Western Science, such as rationality, objectivity, and method. You’ll also find material on religion and science, East and West, and magic and science.
