There is no book at present which comprehensively and exclusively deals with the above aspects on these crops. The present book deals with integrated pest and disease management in plantation and spice crops in detail using regulatory, physical, cultural, chemical, biological, host plant resistance and integrated methods. The Book is extensively illustrated with excellent quality photograph enhancing the quality of publication. The utility of the book is further enhanced by chapters like useful tips in plant protection and sources of critical inputs for IPM. The book is written in lucid style, easy to understand along with adoptable recommendations involving eco-friendly components of IMP.
