Description
Ed Tech Press Regulations Of Pest Control In Horticulture (Hb 2025) by Ranade S A
Pests harm horticulture crops in a number of ways, both directly and indirectly. A classic in its field, this book provides the scientific knowledge needed to identify the various signs of pest damage to horticulture plants and discusses the various treatment methods, including cultural, mechanical, physical, biological, and chemical ones. With the changing climate, horticultural crops have grown more susceptible to plant and disease hazards, posing a serious danger to food security. Horticultural crop diseases not only lower productivity but also negatively impact quality. The idea of IPM was created to address the complexity and diversity of insect issues that affect both the quantity and quality of produce produced. The horticulture crops are a very significant, diverse collection of crops that are vulnerable to numerous insects that lower production. While many cultural and mechanical methods were used in old agriculture to control insect pests, modern agriculture relies heavily on the use of synthetic organic insecticides, which has led to increased resistance and environmental issues. Students, professors, horticultural and plant pathology researchers, seed firms, and growers who want to recognise and control diseases will all benefit from this book.
