This book examines applied entomology principles covering insect classification, economic importance, and pest management strategies. It studies honey bee significance, apiary management, and pollination roles alongside insect ecology principles and population dynamics. Investigation covers integrated pest management techniques incorporating cultural, biological, and chemical control methods, and includes:Comprehensive introduction to entomology covering fundamental principles, economic classification of insects, and contributions of key scientists in the fieldDetailed examination of applied entomology principles including beneficial and harmful insects with emphasis on crop pests, pollinators, and disease carriersInvestigation of honey bee significance covering apiary management, cross-pollination roles, bee products, and impact of agricultural inputs on bee activityAnalysis of insect ecology principles including abiotic and biotic factors, population dynamics, pest surveillance techniques, and forecasting methodologiesStudy of integrated pest management strategies incorporating cultural, mechanical, biological, and legislative control methods with host plant resistance mechanismsThis title has been co-published with Elite Publishing House.

Recensioner i media

"Entomology: Insect Ecology & Concepts of IPM is a well-structured academic volume addressing two core pillars of modern entomology-insect ecology and integrated pest management (IPM). The book effectively bridges ecological theory with practical pest management, making it highly relevant to sustainable agriculture. Emphasis on biotic and abiotic factors, pest outbreaks, and ecological resistance reflects strong scientific depth. The book also addresses pesticide regulations, safety measures, and first aid, enhancing its practical utility. Coverage of beneficial insects, apiculture, sericulture, lac culture, vermiculture, and bioagent mass multiplication further strengthens its applied relevance. Written in a clear style, the book integrates theory with practice and is suitable for UG/PG students, researchers, extension professionals, KVK scientists, DAESI trainees, and practitioners."— Dr Harikesh Singh, M.J.P. Rohilkhand University, India
