Riassunto

Insect and non-insect pests are known to cause extensive damage to crops in the field and to grains and stored products in warehouses and godowns. These pests must be controlled to prevent further harm. This book provides a detailed account of major insect and non-insect pests of economically important field and horticultural crops, as well as possible measures for their control. It also includes information about household pests that damage human possessions, as well as insect and non-insect pests that cause or transmit diseases in plants, livestock, and humans. The book also provides a list of minor pests for each crop, which may become major pests under certain conditions. Additionally, it lists insecticides approved by the Government of India for use as spray chemicals and granular insecticides, as well as the appropriate dosage for their use.

This book is supported by numerous hand-drawn illustrations that depict the nature of the damage and the life cycle of the pests. This feature is a standout characteristic of this book. It is primarily intended for undergraduate students of agriculture, but will also be of great use to postgraduate students of agriculture, officials working in the Department of Agriculture, those interested in scientific farming, and the general public. The information provided in this book is based on scientific research and is intended to assist in the control of pests in a responsible and sustainable manner.
