Insect pest management is chronic problem of agriculture, forestry and other areas. Ecological control of insect pests is very sound and ecofriendly alternative for chemical control in pest management strategies. The book contains national and international status of the topic; detailed concepts of ecological insect pest management of various kinds of pests. Specially biotic and abiotic factors and their role in pest control. It also provides details of rearing technology of pests and parasitoids. Emphasis is given on ecological aspects such as survey and occurrence, life cycle, development, longevity, sex ratio, nutritional requirement, ecobiology, life table statistics and intrinsic rates of natural increase, parasitoids, predators, diseases, intra and inter specific competitions and their role in control of Lepidopterous pests like Spilosoma obliqua, Amsacta lactinea and Thiocidas postica. The book will fulfill the gap of ecological knowledge on insect pest management and helpful to students, teachers, scientists and farmers both in India and abroad.

Medicinal plants have extensive past and present use in treatment of diverse diseases and serve as compounds of interest both in their natural form and as templates for synthetic modifications. According to an estimate of the World Health Organization (WHO), approximately 80 per cent of the people in developing countries realy chiefly on traditional medicines for primary health care needs; a major portion of these involves the use of medicinal plants. The present book "Utilisation and Management of Medicinal Plants" encompass 21 research and review articles contributed by eminent researchers/scientists from various parts of the globe and covers the importance of scientific research on medicinal plants in the areas of botany, chemistry, biotechnology, toxicology and pharmacology. Following are some of the lead articles included in this book: v Biotechnological Interventions for Enhancing the Availability of High Value Medicinal Plants v Environmental Regulation of Secondary Metabolite Accumulation in Aromatic Crops v Search for Useful Substances in Papyrus Cyperus papyrus v Secondary Plant Products and their Biopotentials v Bioactive Compounds from Fungi v Approaches for Enhancing Yield of Artemisinin v Pieris brassicae as Laboratory of Synthesis v Bioprospecting: A Move from Land to the Seas v Medicinal and Aromatic Potentialities of Ocimums v Medicinal Properties of Mistletoe v Saffron: A High Value Crop v Some Potential Anthelminitic Herbal Drugs v Variations in Tannin and Oxalic acid content in Terminalia arjuna v Natural Sweetening Agents It is hoped that this book with wide spectrum of themes shall generate further interest and database for the benefit of academicians, researchers/scientists working on medicinal plants who shall find it very useful and indispensable in their relevant research pursuits.

Wild silk is very vital biological resource and has a very crucial role in economic and social development of mankind. Wild silk is better than other silks from the view point of healthcare. Therefore, the book contain taxonomy of wild silkmoths, under which 9 new subspecies of Antheraea mylitta have been described for avoiding confusion with ecoraces which refer to Antheraea mylitta indica, A.m. jujubi, A.m. arjuni, A.m. greyi, A.m. kolhapurensis, A.m. koynei, A.m. sathei, A.m. badami and A.m. sahyadricus. The book also contains biology of wild silkmoths Attacus atlas (Linn.), Actias selene Hubner and A.m. kolhapurensis. Rearing techniques for A. atlas, A. selene and A.m. kolhapurensis with different food plants and their assessment by food consumption potential/cocoon characterization and development rate has given special emphasis in the book. Thus, the book is unique on biodiversity of wild silkmoths and the wild silk technology which will be very helpful for students, teachers, farmers, sericulturists and researchers in India and at global scenario.

The book covers various aspects of dairying and milk products such as dairy farm establishment, management, production and utilisation of various dairy products. Information has been included on various aspects of dairy farming starting with selection and purchase of dairy cattle, their care and management, with respect to housing, feeding, breeding and health care during various physiological states such as growth, pregnancy and lactation and during different seasons. Details of health care management along with common diseases have been covered with all information required for educated farmers and technicians working in these areas. Various means for consistent improvement of the stock has also been included. Production of clean milk, its procurement, processing and distribution has been covered with more emphasis on common processing technologies such as pasteurisation and sterilisation. Different forms of liquid milk available in the market has been described along with its standards and other specifications for the knowledge of common man and technicians. Manufacturing methods of milk products have been included with appropriate flow chart wherever required and various categories of milk products have been covered in detail under different chapters under milk products. This book has been prepared with emphasis on second year syllabus of Vocational higher secondary course on milk products and dairying and considering the lack of a suitable textbook for this subject. Hence the book is expected to fill the gap of a textbook for the above said and similar courses. Also the book may be accepted as a textbook/manual for educated farmers, other teaching and training programmes covering similar syllabus like that of dairy farm instructors and as a handbook for Veterinary Students and Dairy Extension Officers. With these introductory notes, we presume that the book will satisfy its readers' requirements and form a valuable textbook/reference book for all those concerned with dairy animal production and utilisation of their products ultimately benefiting the farming community.
