Hand Book Of Biological Control in Horticultural Crops (Biomanagement of Pests)
Ebook (EPUB Format)
Productivity of horticultural crops in India is relatively low compared to other countries. Of the several factors responsible for lower productivity of horticultural crops, pests (insect and mite pests) are considered as important limiting factors. Some pest problems (coconut mite, spiralling whitefly on fruit crops, coffee berry borer, diamond back moth on crucifers, serpentine leaf miners on several crops, fruit flies in fruits and cucurbits) are of national importance which causes significant losses to horticultural crops. The annual losses due to pests to all the crops in India was estimated at Rs.60,000 million in 1983, which at today's…

Productivity of horticultural crops in India is relatively low compared to other countries. Of the several factors responsible for lower productivity of horticultural crops, pests (insect and mite pests) are considered as important limiting factors. Some pest problems (coconut mite, spiralling whitefly on fruit crops, coffee berry borer, diamond back moth on crucifers, serpentine leaf miners on several crops, fruit flies in fruits and cucurbits) are of national importance which causes significant losses to horticultural crops. The annual losses due to pests to all the crops in India was estimated at Rs.60,000 million in 1983, which at today's prices could exceed Rs.200,000 million. The excessive dependence on chemical pesticides leads to development of resistance in pests (insects, mites, nematodes and diseases), outbreak of secondary pests, toxicity towards natural enemies and occurrence of pesticide residues in food chain. Considering these limitations, there has been a growing awareness to develop biological control measures which brings about a reasonably good degree of pest reduction and at the same time ensure sustainability of production, cost effectiveness and healthy environment. Commercial scale production of biopesticides for the biological control of pests in the recent past has been quite intense. Several package of practices have been developed nationally and internationally for pest management using commercially available bio-inputs especially microorganisms. The efforts aimed at increasing the naturally occurring biotic agents against the pests, both quantitatively and qualitatively can be termed as biological control. The information on biomanagement of pests (insect and mite pests) in horticultural crops (fruits, vegetables, plantation, spice, tuber, ornamental, medicinal and aromatic crops) is very much scattered. There is no book at present which comprehensively and exclusively deals with the above aspects on horticultural crops. The present book deals with management of pests in horticultural crops in detail using biological (predators, parasitoids and pathogens-fungi, bacteria and viruses) and integrated methods (bioagents, botanicals, insecticides). The book is extensively illustrated with excellent quality photographs enhancing the quality of publication. The book is written in lucid style, easy to understand language along with adoptable recommendations involving eco-friendly components of IPM.

Über den Autor
Dr. P. Parvatha Reddy obtained his M.Sc. (Agri.) degree from Karnatak University, Dharwad, and Ph. D. degree jointly from the University of Florida, USA and the University of Agricultural Sciences, Bangalore. Dr. Reddy served as the Director of the prestigious Indian Institute of Horticultural Research ( IIHR) at Bangalore from 1999 to 2002 during which period the Institute was honoured with ICAR Best Institution Award. He also served as the Head, Division of Entomology and Nematology at IIHR and gave tremendous impetus and direction to research, extension and education in bio-intensive integrated pest management in horticultural crops. These technologies are being practiced widely by the farmers across the country since they are effective, economical, eco-friendly and residue-free. Dr. Reddy has about 34 years of experience working with horticultural crops and involved in developing an F1 tomato hybrid Arka Varadan resistant to root-knot nematodes. He has also developed bio-intensive integrated pest management strategies in horticultural crops using eco-friendly components such as bio-control agents, botanicals and arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi.Dr. Reddy has over 237 scientific publications to his credit, which also include four books on Plant Nematology, A Treatise on Phytonematology, Integrated Pest Management in Horticultural Ecosystems and Advances in IPM for Horticultural crops. He has also guided two Ph. D. students at the University of Agricultural Sciences, Bangalore.Dr. Reddy served as a member of the Research Advisory Committee of the National Centre for Integrated Pest Management, New Delhi; the National Research Centre for Citrus, Nagpur and the Project Directorate of Biological Control, Bangalore. He also served as a Member of the ICAR Scientific Panel for Nematology, Member, QRT to review the progress of AICRP on Nematodes and AINRP on Betelvine. He is the Honorary Fellow of the Society for Plant Protection Sciences, New Delhi, Fellow of the Indian Phytopathological Society, New Delhi and Founder President of the Association for Advancement of Pest Management in Horticultural Ecosystems (AAPMHE), Bangalore. Dr. Reddy has organized Fourth International Workshop on Biological Control and Management of Chromolaena odorata, National Seminar on Hitech Horticulture, First National Symposium on Pest Management in Horticultural Crops:Environmental Implications and Thrusts and Second National Symposium on Pest Management in Horticultural Crops: New Molecules and Biopesticides. Dr. Reddy has been awarded with the prestigious AAPMHE Award, Prof. H.M. Shah Award and Hexamar Agricultural Research and Development Foundation Award for his unstinted efforts in developing sustainable, bio-intensive and eco-friendly integrated pest management strategies in horticultural crops.
