About the Book

The global agricultural landscape is undergoing rapid transformation due to shifting climatic conditions, intensified cropping systems, evolving pest complexes, and increasing demands for sustainable food production. In this dynamic context, the need for integrated, innovative, and ecologically sound pest management strategies has never been more critical. Recognizing these challenges and opportunities, we are pleased to present "Advances in Pest Management of Agricultural Crops", an edited volume that brings together contemporary research, emerging technologies, and practical approaches for addressing pest-related threats in agriculture. This book is a collaborative effort involving a diverse group of scholars, researchers, and field experts who have contributed chapters based on their specialized areas of expertise. The compilation of 19 chapters spans a wide spectrum of themes—ranging from classical pest taxonomy and biology to the latest advancements in molecular diagnostics, biological control agents, chemical innovations, and precision technologies. The volume also delves into the impact of climate change on pest dynamics, postharvest pest management, and the use of beneficial organisms in both pest control and pollination services.
