Insects and non-insect pests cause significant damage to crops in fields and grains and stored products in warehouses and storage facilities, necessitating their control. The author of this book provides a comprehensive account of the major insect and non-insect pests of economically significant field and horticultural crops, along with possible measures for their control. The book also includes information on household pests that damage personal belongings, as well as insect and non-insect pests that transmit diseases in plants, livestock, and humans. Additionally, the book lists minor pests of each crop that can become major pests under favorable conditions. The book also includes a list of insecticides approved by the Government of India for use as spray chemicals and granular insecticides, along with the appropriate dosage for their use. The book is illustrated with numerous fine hand-drawn illustrations that depict the nature of the damage and the life cycle of the pests, making it a valuable resource for undergraduate and postgraduate students of agriculture, agricultural department officials, those interested in scientific farming, and the general public.
H. Lewin Devasahayam, Associate Professor of Plant Pathology (Retd.), Tamil Nadu Agricultural University, Coimbatore, Tamil Nadu, India.
