"Introduction of high yielding varieties, increase in irrigation facilities and haphazard use of increased rates of agrochemicals such as fertilizers and pesticides in recent years with a view to increase productivity has resulted in heavy crop losses due to insect pests in certain crops. This situation has risen mainly due to elimination of natural enemies, resurgence of pests, and development of insecticide resistance and out-break of secondary pests. Distribution, nature of damage, life history of important key pests of horticultural crops and their management strategies are outlined here under.
We have struggled very hard to bring out this comprehensive text book on INTEGRATED PEST MANAGEMENT HORTICUTURAL CROPS – A COLOUR HAND BOOK with a view to meet the long – felt need of the students of Horticultural and Agricultural Universities.
