Description
Deepika Book Agency Textbook of Biopesticides Technology (Pb) by Ramanathan N
This book entitled ‘Text book of Biopesticides Technology’, deals with the current developments in basic and applied aspects of biopesticides used in sustainable agriculture. This book embodies ten chapters on 1. Introduction to Biopesticides, 2. Bacterial Insecticides, 3. Viral Insecticides 4. Mycoinsecticides, 5. Biological Control of Plant Diseases, 6. Fungal Biocontrol Agents of Plant Diseases, 7. Bacterial Biocontrol Agents of Plant Diseases, 8. Mycorrhizal Fungi in Plant Disease Control, 9. Biological Control of Plant Parasitic Nematodes and 10. Biological Control of Weeds. Each biopesticide chapter covers microbial classification, characteristics, mode of infection and symptoms, target pests, mass production and field application of the biopesticide. In addition glossary on ‘Biopesticides Technology’ is included. The overall objective of this book is to bring together information on different areas of Biopesticides Technology in a single source. The text is presented in simple language with diagrams and tables to make the subject matter more clear. This book serves a useful resource to Agriculture students and graduates. The objective type questions with answers are given at the end of each chapter for the guidance of students to perform well in the examinations. I am certain that the book would be useful to the researchers, UG and PG students of Agriculture, Horticulture, Microbiology, Entomology, Plant Pathology, Weed Science, Biotechnology and Environmental Science. The book would be a guide to Environmentalists and Agriculture extension workers.
