Biological Control Of Insects Pests (Recent Advances In Entomology Series-8)

This fascinating title has been carefully organised to meet the long-felt needs of increasingly large number of those who deals with different aspects of Entomology. It provides a balanced and integrated treatment of the entire field of entomology. The title is intelligible to the educated laymen but it deals with some complex ideas. It is an adequate text for all requirements in this area for most university students. This ground work with its many new and unfamiliar names is, at any time, dry, uninteresting and difficult, especially as the beginner does not at first see the necessity for it. We have endeavoured to make it interesting by introducing as much comparative morphology and phylogeny, as possible in the limited space at our disposal. The primary aim throughout has been clarity so as to make the text selective and meaningful. We hope also that general Entomologists and students of Agricultural Entomology will find in this book valuable and recent informations about the subject and also allied branch of the subject. The book provides a nucleus around which the teacher can plan a successful course without much bearing on complementary and supplementary readings. The theme of the book is novel and for the first time the various chapters in different volumes have been organised reviewing the available literature. All the topics have been illustrated with line diagrams, graphs and tables wherever necessary. We hope that the book will definitely prove to be a boon to teachers, students and research scholars.
