The book entitled Pest and Disease Management Biotechnological and biorational approaches is a small initiative to enlighten our esteemed readers, scientist, students, policymakers, academicians and subject matter specialist, about the concept issues prospects, scopes and methodology to make our agriculture more sustainable and viable through new interventions in the field of biotechnology and eco-friendly approaches for pest management in a comprehensive manner. The book covers various aspects viz., biotechnological tools, transgenic IPM, organic agriculture molecular techniques, biorational disease and pest management in field crops and horticultural crops. The book comprehensively delineates the pest and disease management of field crops and horticultural crops though biorational and biotechnological approaches.

In spite of our sincere efforts, it is quite possible that some important aspects might have escaped and need further improvement we shall be highly obliged if our esteemed readers make us known by sending their valuable suggestions in this regard.
