Climate change has intensified in recent decades, which has
affected crop production as well as facilitated the emergence of
new diseases and insect pests, causing serious threats to
agriculture. Farmers have mostly taken a crop-based approach to
insect pest management (IPM); the authors of this new volume,
Insect Pest Management in Different Cropping Systems, however, take
the unique approach that IPM based on specific cropping systems is
more efficient, resulting in reduced cultivation costs, increased
yield and profitability, and decreased residue from crop produce
and products. This volume presents the results of research done by
crop protection scientists on integrated pest management in diverse
cropping systems based on rice, wheat, maize, pulses, food legumes,
oilseeds, groundnut, potato, and other horticulture crops. With
chapters written by well-known and experienced scientists in their
fields, this volume provides in-depth knowledge on integrated pest
management in conjunction with an array of specific cropping
systems, taking into consideration all the elements, including the
crops, crop sequences, spatial and temporal aspects of managing an
agricultural system, and other aspects. This volume will be
valuable for entomologists, plant pathologists, agronomists, as
well as for farmers—both small and industrial sized, agricultural
extension centers, faculty and students, and many others involved
with crop cultivation.
