"The rapid change in the agroecosystem leaves a snag in the establishment of harmony of the disturbed ecosystem. In nutshell, man\'s frantic bid for more production tended him to be oblivious of the ecological implications of the measures adopted to achieve immediate benefit, thus the urge for evolution of pest management in a sustainable manner.
There are 32 critical through provoking chapters by experts in relevant fields. These chapters point towards the sustainability of pests management." (jacket)
