Description

This book explores the vital role of pest management in ensuring global food security amidst growing agricultural demands. Focusing on sustainable solutions, it delves into the challenges of pest control, including the harmful effects of chemical pesticides and the growing need for eco-friendly alternatives. The text provides in-depth coverage of biopesticides, particularly microbial agents like Bacillus thuringiensis, highlighting their role in reducing pest damage and promoting sustainable agriculture. This comprehensive resource is aimed at researchers, practitioners, and students, offering practical insights into the future of pest management and crop protection.

Abstract

As global food demand rises, pests remain a significant threat to agricultural productivity, often causing up to one-third of potential crop losses. Traditional chemical pesticides, while effective, have led to environmental pollution and health risks. This book examines the shift towards biopesticides—especially microbial agents like Bacillus thuringiensis—as sustainable, eco-friendly alternatives. It discusses the development, commercialization, and mechanisms of action of these biopesticides in pest control. Highlighting their growing market potential and benefits for sustainable agriculture, the book offers essential knowledge for advancing integrated pest management strategies and addressing the challenges of global food security.

The discussions were thorough, though I found the style of writing a bit dry at times.
