Indiscriminate use of pesticides has resulted in problems of pest resurgence, development of resistance and environmental contamination through residues in food chain on the one hand and destruction of biodiversity of resistant plants and beneficial insects on the other hand. This cannot be allowed to go on. Eminent Scientists from different research institutions have looked at some alternative strategies and have come up with many concrete ideas which are put together in this volume.
