This book analyses the current state and potential of economic and
financial integration in South Asia, which has emerged as one of
the most dynamic regions of the world. It looks at how regional
convergences and cooperation would reinforce ties amongst the
diverse economies of South Asia in the changing global economic
landscape. Drawing on empirical research, the book looks at the
degree of economic and financial integration in South Asia, which
according to the World Bank includes the least integrated regions
in the world, and explores the fundamental factors that drive
integration amongst these countries. It offers important insights
into the financial landscape of the region, as well as the dynamics
of the interlinkages in the banking system, the stock markets, and
the debt markets. The book examines the role of bilateral trade in
augmenting regional economic ties, the opportunities for growth
these will foster, and the major challenges and roadblocks for the
leaders of the region. It also provides an overview of China’s
role in South Asia’s financial integration and the
interdependence of these economies for economic opportunities,
macroeconomic and financial stability, jobs, sustainable growth,
and inclusive development. Detailed and insightful, this book will
be of great interest to investors and regional policymakers. It
will also be of interest to researchers and students of economics,
public and foreign policy, finance, international relations, and
South Asia studies.
The search for new strategies of pest control with safer molecules
is currently of great importance and interest. Microbe-mediated
biological crop protection is an attractive and promising
technology with no concern for a negative impact on the environment
and biodiversity. Microbial hydrolytic enzymes such as proteases,
chitinases, lipases, etc. are attractive for this purpose. They
present toxic properties and act synergistically to control pest
attacks. Also, some metabolites, that microorganisms produce for
their survival or defense, can be explored and exploited for plant
protection. The focus of this Volume is on the potential of
microbial hydrolytic enzymes and their metabolites in agroecosystem
functioning. Subsequent chapters review topics such as microbial
hydrolytic enzymes as powerful management tools, chitinases in IPM
of agro-horticultural crops, metabolites as pesticides and the
importance of the metabolites of entomopathogenic fungi,
metabolites and virulence factors. Other topicas include:
microbial-based nanoparticles, recombinant DNA technologies to
improve the efficacy of microbial insecticides, the effects of
entomopathogens on insect predators and parasitoids, and the
management of major vegetable insect pests. This Volume provides
detailed accounts on the safe use of microbial products for
sustainable management of insect pests. Its aim is to build solid
foundations for the students, teachers, and researchers interested
in eco-friendly management of important insect crop pests.
