About the Book
With increasing awareness of the manifold environmental and health hazards of the ill and excessive use of chemical pesticides in agriculture and horticulture crops and with the need for organic cultivation for the production of chemical free produce has assumed paramount importance. Pest management in such a situation will increasingly become more dependent on bio control technologies. Though there has been increasing awareness in India about the hazards of indiscriminate use of insecticides, use of biological agents for pest management has not taken off in a big way due to the susceptibility of bio agents to abiotic and insecticides-induced stresses. The present book comprehensively deals with various important aspects in biological control most importantly pertaining to their mass production and field application in plantation crops along with research strategies to overcome the challenges in application of Bio Agents.
