From the Foreword: "In this book, an attempt has been made to compile up-to-date information on the insect pests of different fruits, vegetables and spices crop groups through 18 contributory chapters written by the competent authors working on the specific crops from different Research Institutions/Universities of the country. The eighteen chapters are divided in to three sections in different categories of crops like fruits (Section-A), vegetables (Section-B) and spices (Section-C). In each chapter, insect pests have been delt with special reference to their damage, biology and management aspects in Indian context. This book will serve source for all available information on this subject and will be of great importance for the students, teachers and researchers and those interested in protecting the fruits, vegetables and spices crops from the ravages of the insect pests."
