Content:
Biorationals or biopesticides are pest control agents of biological origin. Biopesticides are emerging alternatives to harmful chemical pest control agents. The book provides essential information on botanical, biological originated insecticidal, herbicidal, fungicidal, nematicidal agents, insect growth hormones, insect pheromones and plant growth regulators. It will help researchers and students to develop new strategies for pest management.
