They cause immense damage across different crop varieties owing to their generalist and voracious food habits. The advent of mono-crop culture in a huge area and the massive use of pesticides post green revolution have massively increased pest outbreaks all over the world. The Middle Eastern countries, African continent and even the Indian subcontinent is increasingly facing resurgences of polyphagus pests. This book compiles an inclusive account of polyphagous pests. It covers locusts, termites, aphids, whiteflies, mealybugs, scale insects, gram pod borer, fall armyworm, thrips, mites and rodents. The book discusses mode of spread, enormity of losses caused, mechanism of action, and also means to reduce the crop losses. It brings together a unique perspective for researchers to learn effective pest management practices across all crops. This book is a reference guide to researchers and also useful for academicians and students of entomology. .Plant diseasesAgricultureBotanyPlagues agrícolesthubControl de plaguesthubLlibres electrònicsthubPlant diseases.Agriculture.Botany.Plagues agrícolesControl de plagues632.3OmkaredtMiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910484431103321Polyphagous pests of crops2804907UNINA
