The book Recent Trends in Plant Protection is an extensive guide to modern and lucrative pest management techniques for insects and diseases. The content is presented in plain language, making it both engaging and easy to understand for students. The book covers various aspects of pest management, such as plant disease detection, insect trapping, bio inputs, and bio pesticides, as well as the importance of predator insects, entomophagous pathogens, and pesticide spraying equipment. It also discusses the impact of agrochemicals, new classifications of pesticides, and plant vectors. A chapter on the relationship between plants, natural enemies, and edible insects like honeybees, silkworms, and lac insects is also included. This book serves as a valuable resource for students and teachers in agriculture, particularly in Crop Protection, by bridging the gap between research and practice and promoting interdisciplinary collaboration.
