At the present context, it has become indispensable to look for sustainable crop protection management approaches for insect pests, diseases, nematodes and weeds and the present book is an effort to this direction. The book contains recent information on microbal pesticides, Hexamermis sp. On Leptocoris, Biocontrol for pest management, HANPV, Ovicides for management, Recent advances in Ocimum for IPM, Termite management, Insects pests of NEH region, Karnal Bunt threat to grain trade, Foliar blight of wheat, Diseases of NEH region, Eco-friendly management of with in cheak pea, Predictive management of powdery mildew, Viral diseases of Ladhakh, Disease management of flowering crops, Pests and diseases of nut fruits, Application of molecular markers for resistance genes, Diseases of linseed, Induced resistance, Rice blast management, Chitinase against fungi, Taxonomic status of semi-endo parasitic nematode management, Decontamination of pesticide residues, Microbial metabolites, Management through seed and weed management for sustainable agriculture production. The book “Crop Protection: Management Strategies,” not only provides references but also serves as guide and inspiration for future research into the realm of biological, chemical, physical and quarantine aspects and onslaughts of modern agriculture on it.
