Abstract

In this book, several such interventions are given in form of various chapters which will be of immense use improving the productivity and profitability of arid and semi-arid horticultural commodities through pests management. In this endeavour, useful information has been generated on identification, damage symptoms and management of the pests in different dryland horticultural crops at various research institutions and SAUs of the country. Intense efforts have therefore, been made to gather information on identification, damage symptoms and management of pests in a systematic way, grouped in different chapters and presented in the form of a book. Accurate identification of the pest, their damage and management is the prerequisites for successful control measures. This publication contains excellent colored photographs depicting salient identification characteristics of pest, their damage on plants under natural condition and management in field conditions so as to update the knowledge of extension agencies and farmers.This book has 37 chapters written by different authors with a focus on the productivity and profitability of arid and semi-arid horticultural commodities through pest’s management.
