From the Foreword: "This book is the second volume of Applied Entomology. The book is divided in two sections: Section A contains 6 chapters covering insect pests and their management of different pulse crops. Section B contains nine chapters covering insect pests and their management of major oilseed crops. Each chapter covers distribution, host range, nature and extent of damage, and biology/bionomics of the major insect pests and their management. This book will serve as a valuable reference source on this subject and would be of great importance for the students, teachers and researchers and those interested in protecting the pulses and oilseed crops from insect pests."
