Currently, the major challenge of humanity is focused on population
growth through agricultural production in order to meet the demand
for food. The food crunch is mainly due to pest and disease.
Traditional methods, synthetic insecticides and microbicides cause
health hazards to human beings, domestic animals and also affect
our immediate environments. Serious concerns were implemented by
both developing and developed countries as Integrated Pest
Management (IPM) and Bio-intensive Integrated Pest Management
(BIPM) systems where biopesticides play an important role
worldwide. The available books are limited to particular aspects of
biopesticides. Hence, it is imperative to bring out a holistic
documentation which will provide the reader information on all
aspects of biopesticides. The book consists of five sections namely
microbials, botanicals, natural enemies semio- chemicals and
biotechnology and equipments, bioinformatics tools and IPM. In
Section I, microbial deals with utilization of Bacillus in control
of phytonematodes; biological control of pest and diseases with
fluorescent pseudomonads, entomopathogenic fungus and
entomopathogenic nematodes in pest management, microbial viral
insecticides and microbial elicitors to induce immunity for plant
disease control in chilli and tomato. Importance of plant essential
oils, botanicals in endocrine disruption, relevance of botanicals
and use of plant volatile on pest management has been discussed in
Section II. Importance and role of reduviidae, weaver ants, ground
beetles, Odonatas, spiders in biological control has been discussed
in Section III. In addition, genetic improvement of biocontrol
agents for sustainable pest management has also been highlighted.
In Section IV, classical practices and pheromone, kairomonal
enhancement to natural enemies and use of transgenic plants in
insect control are highlighted. Equipment and their application
methodologies for application of biopesticides; relevance of
bioinformatics in biopesticides management; pest management of
soybean, bio fouling and eco friendly antifoulants have been
highlighted in Section V. Each chapter has objectives and
conclusion along with recommendations.
