The Qutab Minar at Delhi the Jami and Atala Masjids at Mandu and Jaunpur the Teen Darwaza at Ahmedabad the Gol Gumbaz at Bijapur the city of Fatehpur Sikri and the Taj at Agra are all undoubtedly and distinctly Islamic. This book however stresses on the indigenous quality of each of these monuments. In fact they represent a mirrorlike architectural reflection of the synthesis of Hindu and Muslim cultures that reached itsmost creative period under the rule of Akbar. This process of assimilation is evident in varying degrees at Delhi Jaunpur Bengal Mandu Gujarat and the Deccan in fact all over India that was under the Mughal rule.The format of the book is much the same as followed in its companion volume Buddhist and Hindu Architecture which is to be published later. In the context of studying Islamic architecture in India an overall chronological study of its earliest phase in Delhi is undoubtedly rewarding. Subsequently in describing the parallel but architecturally distinct styles of the various provinces it becomes necessary to study each in its own chronological order to understand the evolution of the style within its own geographic social and artistic parameters.</span></p>

Efforts, therefore. Have been made in this publication to present useful information, on about 75 pharmaceutical companies. 1000 propriety and non-propriety products with their composition, indications and dosage and about 80 biological products and sera etc. in the form of a compendium for ready reference of veterinary clinicians and students. The book consists of two broad sections viz veterinary biologicals and pharmaceutics. Complete information on vaccines and sera. Veterinary preparations with therapeutic and brand name index. Alphabetical index of pharmaceutical drugs. Product information and alphabetical index of pharmaceutical companies etc. has been covered under the two heads. A separate section on medical products found useful and commonly used in veterinary practice has also been added. Every effort has been made to ensure the accuracy of the information given and make it exhaustive to be useful</span><br></p>

IPM is also environment-friendly and safer for farmers and farm workers. This book will prove a valuable reference for researchers students teachers extension workers pest scouts agribusiness personnel home gardeners and others interested in integrated pest management.</p><p style="margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-left: 0px; padding: 0px; color: rgb(33, 37, 41); font-family: system-ui, -apple-system, &quot;Segoe UI&quot;, Roboto, &quot;Helvetica Neue&quot;, Arial, &quot;Noto Sans&quot;, &quot;Liberation Sans&quot;, sans-serif, &quot;Apple Color Emoji&quot;, &quot;Segoe UI Emoji&quot;, &quot;Segoe UI Symbol&quot;, &quot;Noto Color Emoji&quot;; letter-spacing: 0.7px; text-align: justify;">This volume deals with application part of IPM strategies in economically important crops such as cotton sugarcane rice wheat pigeon pea chickpea soybean oilseeds groundnut maize minor millets vegetables coconut mango apple tea medicinal plants citrus onion and garlic. Field validated IPM technologies at various institutions at farm as well as farmers field for each crop have been described for key pests and gaps in knowledge identified for future guidance. This book will serve as resource book for various technologies successfully tried in compatible manner with available resources and infrastructures. Implementation of IPM strategies will lead to sustainable production and to achieve targets of 2020 within the framework of ecofriendly approaches apart from bringing down the pesticide consumption in high input crops. The technologies will help in production of crops in ecofriendly manner which will help our farmers to compete with green/clean farm produce even in international market.</p>
