This book discusses different approaches for successful pest-management through biotechnological interventions. Pest management is directly associated with the agricultural productivity. The book introduces the reader to various kinds of biopesticides that have been developed and are being developed for field application. Chemical pesticides have been widely used to control pests, and these induce pesticide resistance as well as other environmental problems. This book discusses the necessity to develop alternate pest control strategies, especially environment-friendly and target-specific…mehr

This book discusses different approaches for successful pest-management through biotechnological interventions. Pest management is directly associated with the agricultural productivity. The book introduces the reader to various kinds of biopesticides that have been developed and are being developed for field application. Chemical pesticides have been widely used to control pests, and these induce pesticide resistance as well as other environmental problems. This book discusses the necessity to develop alternate pest control strategies, especially environment-friendly and target-specific biopesticides against destructive pests. The book describes important aspects such as microbial biopesticides, plant-based biopesticides, natural products that act against pests and the various other biotechnological advances and limitations of these biopesticides. It provides an in-depth knowledge of the latest research and development in the area of biopesticides.
This informative book is meant for students and researchers in the fields of biotechnology, agriculture and applied microbiology.

Autorenporträt
Dr. Surajit De Mandal is a postdoctoral fellow at the College of Plant Protection, South China Agricultural University, Guangzhou, P. R. China. He has several years of research experience and published many research articles in international journals. He also acts as an editorial board member/reviewer for various international journals. His field of interest includes microbial diversity and metagenomics, molecular phylogeny, bioinformatics and microbial control of insect pests. He is presently working on microbial community analysis using next-generation sequencing methods.. Dr. Fengliang Jin is a Professor in the Department of Entomology, College of Agriculture, South China Agricultural University, Guangzhou, 510642 P.R.China. His major research interest is on the role of non-coding RNAs in the regulation of insect immune signal transduction, exploring the interaction mechanism of insects to entomopathogens using next generation sequencing and bioinformatic analysis and RNAi-based functional analysis of immune-related genes and their role in the regulation of antimicrobial peptides of insects. Prof. Jin served as a Principal Investigator for several research projects related to the development of Biopesticide from various agencies. He has several patents, scientific articles and presently serving as a reviewer and editor in many international journals. Dr. S. Karthi is currently working as a postdoctoral fellow (UGC-DSKPDF, New Delhi) at the Centre for Environmental Sciences, Sri Paramakalyani Centre for Environmental Sciences, Manonmaniam Sundaranar University, India.
