Overview

The book Ecologically Based Integrated Pest Management provides a comprehensive overview of the field of integrated pest management (IPM). The book is organized into six sections, each containing 8 chapters, and covers a wide range of topics related to IPM. These topics include the impact of IPM on food security, breeding for resistance, IPM in crops, fruits, and vegetables, future strategies and policy issues, and IPR-related issues. The book also provides detailed information on emerging strategies and challenges such as the role of biotechnology and the implications of IPR issues. The book highlights the role of IPM in sustaining food productivity, meeting economic, environmental, and social costs. It also discusses the importance of diagnostic tools, weather forecasting, transgenic plants, biological control, and new chemicals in future IPM programs. The book emphasizes the need for improved information transfer, implementation, and application of IPM. The last section of the book addresses the status, future, challenges, and constraints of IPM. It provides a critical analysis of different management strategies that have a bearing on agricultural sustainability and environmental protection. The book is unique in that it does not focus on conventional pest management strategies with respect to particular crops or regions but instead provides a broader overview of management strategies with critical evaluation of each in the larger context of ecologically based pest management.
