The present text 'Basic and Applied Entomology: An Encyclopaedia' brought on paper largely encompasses the terminology and vocabulary frequently used in literature, lectures, discussions in class rooms and wherever the discipline is involved. The information contained herein is so essential for a vast group of people, students and experts who are increasingly becoming more enthusiastic to perceive the wordings in exact and concrete manner and cognizant for the thirst of knowledge; that it will provide better understanding of the subject. This type of information is hardly accessible at one place. Here, an attempt has been made to compile the fragmented and diffused information and to make available to the readers interested in the subject in a lucid manner. Hope, this will serve as the valuable source of information for the undergraduate and post graduate students of the agricultural universities, students of zoology having special paper of entomology in the universities of basic sciences, teachers, researchers and other cronies who are directly or indirectly interested in the field of entomology and pest management. These wordings are essential for the beginners as well as the advanced learners. This should not be understood that the information contained in this edition is self-sufficient but it will be an incessant and uninterrupted pursuit of the authors to find new words and that of the inadvertently omitted ones. The book incorporates old as well as recent information on basic and applied aspects of entomology with particular reference to the study of integrated pest management. The book also covers the important species of insect-pests related to agriculture.

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.

Intellectual Property Rights (IPR) has virtually touched all spheres of human lives, including social, cultural, economic and technical areas and is fast becoming a tool for the national development in the context of globalisation of trade and commerce and emerging knowledge world order. In this context, developing countries have many challenges to face while evolving their own IP systems in order to satisfy their public policy needs and developmental goals. These countries have responded to the new order in different ways and have tried to handle global IPR issues with a sense of commonalty especially in the matters related to protection of genetic resources and traditional knowledge. There is a sense of urgency in developing IP systems in each country to derive maximum benefit from the IPR system to address efficient utilisation of innovations and creativity. Besides this, scientists and technologists can no longer plan and execute their researches without being adequately prepared with the state-of-the-art information driven IPR systems and thus need to have clear and sound understanding of the principles of IPR and good practices of its protection and exploitation. The present publication is a follow up of the international advanced training course on 'Intellectual Property Rights (IPR) in Developing Countries' organised at New Delhi/Manesar, India during 12-17 July, 2010 by the NAM S&T Centre and the Patent Facilitating Centre (PFC) of the Technology Information, Forecasting and Assessment Council (TIFAC), Government of India and supported by the Department of Science and Technology (DST), Ministry of Science and Technology, Government of India. It includes 22 research papers including country status reports from 18 developing countries of African, American and Asian regions. The book presents significant insights on IPR and partnership strategies for the developing countries and is expected to be of great value for the researchers, policy makers and professional engaged with the IPR issues.
