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. . 606 $aPlant diseases 606 $aAgriculture 606 $aBotany 606 $aPlagues agrícoles$2thub 606 $aControl de plagues$2thub 608 $aLlibres electrònics$2thub 615 0$aPlant diseases. 615 0$aAgriculture. 615 0$aBotany. 615 7$aPlagues agrícoles 615 7$aControl de plagues 676 $a632.3 702 $aOmkar$4edt 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910484431103321 996 $aPolyphagous pests of crops$92804907 997 $aUNINA
