- Book Synopsis
- This book is dealing with the crop protection in soybean covering all the major insects' pests, diseases and weeds infesting soybean. The main focus of the book is to provide a single point comprehensive reference on the pests and diseases in soybean covering all the latest advancements in the field. The book covers the taxonomic status, symptomatology, morphology, epidemiology and management of all the major pests and diseases in soybean. Special attention is given to different components of integrated pest management and the latest biotechnological interventions in the field. The pests and diseases are a major constraint in the soybean cultivation leading to significant yield losses. Meticulous understanding on these pests is critical for the accurate identification and adoption of the effective management strategies against them. This play a crucial role in enhancing the soybean production and thereby help in meeting the globally increasing demand for vegetable oil and protein. The book is of special interest to academicians, professionals and policy makers actively associated with the research on crop protection in soybean and a valuable source of reference to students, scientists, industrialists and farmers working on soybean.
