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, "Segoe UI", Roboto, "Helvetica Neue", Arial, "Noto Sans", "Liberation Sans", sans-serif, "Apple Color Emoji", "Segoe UI Emoji", "Segoe UI Symbol", "Noto Color Emoji"; 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>
