The 'Biological Control of Pest and Weed Management' textbook is a comprehensive guide meticulously organized to enhance understanding of biological control as an integral part of sustainable agriculture. Authored by renowned experts Awanindra Kumar Tiwari, Wajid Hasan, Milind D. Joshi, Pradeep Natthuji Dawane, Radhika Negi, Sheetanshu Gupta, and Dhirendra Kumar, this hardback edition is divided into four detailed units. The first unit lays a foundational understanding of the history, principles, and scope of biological control. The second unit delves into the biology and behavior of predatory and parasitic organisms essential for successful biological pest control. The third unit focuses on the practical applications, including mass production, formulation, and deployment strategies of biocontrol agents. Lastly, the fourth unit evaluates the efficacy of various biological control practices through global case studies, addressing real-world applications. Richly illustrated with diagrams and photographs, the text aids in visualizing complex topics and guarantees a critical understanding with review questions and references for deeper exploration. This textbook serves as an invaluable resource for aspiring and experienced scientists and practitioners dedicated to sustainable agriculture and ecological preservation.

Biological Control of Insect Pests and Weeds is meticulously organized to provide readers with a logical and comprehensive understanding of biological control as a fundamental component of sustainable agriculture. The textbook is divided into four detailed units, each focusing on specific aspects of biological control, from theoretical underpinnings to practical applications. This structured approach ensures that readers can build on their knowledge progressively while gaining deep insights into both the science and implementation of biological control strategies.

Unit Ilays the foundational knowledge by discussing the history, principles, and scope of biological control. Unit II examines the biology and behavior of predatory and parasitic organisms that are critical to effective biological control. Unit III addresses the practical aspects of biological control, focusing on the mass production, formulation, and deployment of biocontrol agents. Unit IV evaluates the impact and future directions of biological control practices. It features case studies of successful biological control projects from around the world, providing real-world examples of how these strategies can be implemented effectively.

Throughout the book, emphasis is placed on the integration of biological control within broader pest management systems, considering environmental, economic, and social factors. The text is enriched with diagrams, tables, and photographs to aid in the understanding of complex concepts and to visualize the biological phenomena discussed. Each chapter concludes with key points, review questions, and references to encourage further exploration and critical thinking about the topics covered.

By the end of this textbook, readers will have gained a comprehensive understanding of biological control, equipped with both the theoretical insights and practical knowledge necessary to contribute to the field of integrated pest management. The aim is to inspire and educate a new generation of scientists and practitioners who will champion the adoption and innovation of biological control techniques, ensuring the sustainability of agricultural practices and the preservation of ecological health worldwide.
