Paperback. Condition: Very Good. Plant based biotechnology has come to represent a means of mitigating the problems of global food security in the twenty-first century. Products and processes in agriculture are increasingly becoming linked to science and cutting edge technology, to enable the engineering of what are in effect, designer plants. One of the most successful , non-chemical approaches to pest management and disease control is biological control, which seeks a solution in terms of using living organisms to regulate the incidence of pests and pathogens, providing a natural control' while still maintaining the biological balance with the ecosystem. This volume, (the first of two), addresses the different types of biocontrol for different pests, namely, crop diseases, weeds and nematodes, and details the biology of both the pest and its enemies, which is vital for efficient use of biological control. The book has numerous contributors who are authorities in their fields, and would be an asset to those who have interest in sustainable agriculture and crop productivity. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged.

Hardcover. Condition: Fine. "Cash crops including tea, coffee, sugarcane, cotton, tobacco, tubers, spices, jute and citrus etc. play a tri-dimensional role in our economy by way of (i) earning foreign exchange (ii) fostering industrial development and (iii) providing sizeable employment opportunities to the people. Besides, potato and other tuber crops are the staple food; Indian spices are indispensable in culinary, adding flavour and taste. Very often these crops witness severe incidence of pests and diseases which not only reduce production but quality of produce as well. The export potential of these crops and human health are at stake due to pesticides residue problem owing to their over and misuse in combating pest and disease menace. Therefore, IPM technology is essentially required for sustainable crop production and protection, besides reducing pesticides load. This volume includes all important insect pests and diseases of major cash crops dealing biology, damage symptoms, life history, host-parasite interactions,ecology, epidemiology and their management options. Major emphasis has been laid on breeding for resistance, feasible and practical cultural and agronomic practices, conservation and augmentation of biocontrol agents, botanicals and microbial pesticides, biochemicals including pheromones, besides environment friendly chemical pesticides. In most of the cases, a system approach of pest/disease management has been elucidated. "This volume contains 26 articles by 48 scientists of international repute.
