The 'Advances in Plant Biopesticides' comprises 19 chapters on
different important issues of developing biopesticides from
promising botanicals and its phytomolecules based on the research
reviews in the area concern. The book is written by reputed
scientists and professors of both developed and developing
countries namely Australia, Canada, Czech Republic, Egypt, Greece,
India, Kenya, Thailand, Turkey, United Kingdom, and USA represented
by almost 53 contributors. The book is organized and presented in
such a form that the readers can acquire and enhance their
knowledge in plant biopesticide bioresources, its application in
different areas to manage pests and diseases of field crops, stored
products with status of exploring in Africa, non-target effects on
beneficial arthropods, control of arthropods of veterinary and
vectors of communicable diseases, efficacy in controlling honeybee
mite pests, prospect of applying new tools to enhance the efficacy
of plant biopesticides through use of nanotechnology, most
important plant derived active principle as source of
biopesticides, possible mode of action of phytochemicals against
arthropods, limitation, production status, consumption,
formulation, registration and quality regulation of plant
biopesticides and have been cited by important scientific
references. Most importantly, the book also highlights a unique
example for developing biopesticides based on the research on
Annonaceae as potential source of plant biopesticide, exploiting
phytochemicals for developing green technology for sustainable crop
protection strategies to withstand climate change with example in
Africa, and overview in developing insect resistance to plant
biopesticides. Most of the chapter contributing authors are
internationally reputed researchers and possess experiences of more
than three to four decades in the area of plant biopesticides. The
contributing and corresponding authors of the book - Advances in
Plant Biopesticides proposed and identified by the editor
(Dwijendra Singh) include distinguished professors and reputed
scientists from different continents of the world namely MB Isman
(Canada), Nadia Z Dimetry (Egypt), Zeaur R Khan (Kenya), John A
Pickett (UK), Gadi VP Reddy (USA), S Gopalakrishnan (India), Anand
Prakash (India), Chirantan Chattopadyay (India), Christos G
Athanassiou (Greece), Philip C. Stevenson (UK), S Raguraman
(India), S Ghosh (India), Mir S Mulla (USA), Apiwat Tawatsin
(Thailand), Dwijendra Singh (India), K Sahayaraj (India), Suresh
Walia (India), T Shivanandappa (India), Roman Pavela (Czeck
Republic), Errol Hasan (Australia), Ayhan Gokce (Turkey), SK Raza
(India), and their colleague co-contributors. This book would
certainly provide the updated knowledge to global readers on plant
biopesticides as one of the important reference source and would
stimulate to present and future researchers, scientists, student,
teachers, entrepreneurs, and government & non-government policy
makers interested to develop new & novel environmentally safe
plant biopesticides world over.
