Biological control of the insect pests has long been acknowledged as an important pest management component and recognized as well adequate in many cases to abolish the requirement of additional treatment. The biocontrol agents have been productively manipulated with diversity of augmentation and conservation. Production of natural enemies in an efficient and economical way is a pre-requisite for biological control programme. Substantial scientific advances have been made in mass rearing of natural enemies for augmentative population. Nuclear techniques have been used extensively in various biological control programmes. Irradiation plays significant role in the production of natural enemies. It has been reported that the parasitization was increased in the progeny of irradiated hosts. The purpose of this research was to explore the possibilities of managing sugarcane stem borer, C. infuscatellus through biological control strategies and nuclear techniques to enhance the production and field application of its natural enemies.
Plant based Biotechnology has come to represent a means of mitigating the problems of global food security in the twenty first century. Products and processes in agriculture are increasingly becoming linked to science and cutting edge technology, to enable the engineering of what are in effect, designer plants. One of the most successful, non chemical approaches to pest management and disease control, which seeks a solution in terms of using living organisms to regulate the incidence of pests and and pathogens, providing a `natural control' while still maintaining the biological balance with the ecosystem. This volume, describes the various biological agents used to control insect pests of a variety of crops.

Sugarcane is an important industrial crop of India. Perhaps this could be the largest agroprocessing industry in India. This industry is mainly situated in rural India and has changed the face of rural India to a great extent in a real sense. The sugarcane is grown in India wherever irrigation facility is available. The sugarcane was previously used for Gur making which was the major form of consumption in day to day use for tea, sweets etc. Since the inception of sugar mills in 1930, sugar could be made popular in place of gur since it has a better shelflife and easiness in handling while making use. This crop was grown on area of 1176000 hac in 1930 which has gone up to 5114000 hac in 2018. There are about 525 sugar mills as on 2017–18 as against 29 in 1930–31 with average crushing capacity 644 t/day in 1940–41 to 4439 t/day in 2017–18 with sugar production 0.934 million tons in1940–41 to 32.328 million tons in 2017–18 and recovery 8.96 in 1930–31 to 10.73 in 2017–18 and molasses production 3336000 tons in 1935–36 to 13980000 tons in 2017–18.
In modern crop cultivation, biological control is used primarily for controlling insect pests. The main advantages of bio control technology or biological control are that no artificial substances are added and that pathogens/animals that develop resistance against biological control agents are rare. This approach has no adverse effects on human health or the environment and is self-sustaining. This is a comprehensive, authentic, and standard book on advances in biological control pest management technology, divided in fifteen chapters which deal with significance and importance of biological control in insect pest management, history of biological control, and why do we need it. This book has been crafted to accomplish the needs of undergraduate and postgraduate students of global universities in integrated nematode pest management technology.
Plant based biotechnology has come to represent a means of mitigating the problems of global food security in the twenty-first century. Products and processes in agriculture are increasingly becoming linked to science and cutting edge technology, to enable the engineering of what are in effect, designer plants. One of the most successful , non-chemical approaches to pest management and disease control is biological control, which seeks a solution in terms of using living organisms to regulate the incidence of pests and pathogens, providing a natural control' while still maintaining the biological balance with the ecosystem. This volume, (the first of two), addresses the different types of biocontrol for different pests, namely, crop diseases, weeds and nematodes, and details the biology of both the pest and its enemies, which is vital for efficient use of biological control. The book has numerous contributors who are authorities in their fields, and would be an asset to those who have interest in sustainable agriculture and crop productivity.
Egg Parasitoids in Agroecosystems with emphasis on Trichogramma was conceived to help in the promotion of biological control through egg parasitoids by providing both basic and applied information. The book has a series of chapters dedicated to the understanding of egg parasitoid taxonomy, development, nutrition and reproduction, host recognition and utilization, and their distribution and host associations. There are also several chapters focusing on the mass production and commercialization of egg parasitoids for biological control, addressing important issues such as parasitoid quality control, the risk assessment of egg parasitoids to non-target species, the use of egg parasitoids in integrated pest management programs and the impact of GMO on these natural enemies. Chapters provide an in depth analysis of the literature available, are richly illustrated, and propose future trends.
The present book consist of 30 reviews on important pest and diseases of cash, cereals, oilseed, vegetables, fodders, fruits and pulses etc. Most of these articles have been prepared by authorities in their receptive areas. There is worldwide swing to the use of ecologically safe, environment friendly methods of protecting crops from pests and pathogens.

Biological control, along with host plant resistance is central to the pest management paradigm. To be more effective it has to integrate diverse programmes involving natural enemies and microbials (bacterial, viral and fungal), besides kairomonal elements from host insects. With the advent of efficient, high quality mas rearing and delivery systems and the ecofriendly biorational techniques involved in microbial control, biological control has come to be considered as a technology-orientated exercise. This volume is based on papers presented at a workshop on Technological Advances in the Biological Control of Insects at the Entomological Research Institute, held in Chennai, India, in October 1996.
