This book focuses on the evolving landscape of integrated pest management (IPM) in crop production, emphasizing innovative, sustainable, and eco-friendly approaches to pest control. It aims to compile cutting-edge research, technological advancements, and practical strategies that minimize reliance on chemical pesticides while enhancing crop productivity and environmental safety.

The scope of this book includes, but is not limited to, the following areas:

• Fundamentals and principles of Integrated Pest Management (IPM)
• Advances in biological control agents (predators, parasitoids, and pathogens)
• Role of botanicals, biopesticides, and microbial formulations
• Pest surveillance, forecasting models, and early warning systems
• Use of artificial intelligence, remote sensing, and precision agriculture in pest management
• Genomic and biotechnological approaches for pest resistance
• RNA interference (RNAi) and gene-editing tools in pest control
• Climate change impacts on pest dynamics and adaptive management strategies
• Integrated weed and disease management approaches
• Smart traps, pheromone-based control, and attract-and-kill technologies
• Nanotechnology applications in pest management
• Decision support systems and digital agriculture tools
• Resistance management and pesticide stewardship
• Sustainable pest management in organic and low-input farming systems
• Farmer participatory approaches and indigenous technical knowledge
• Policy, regulatory frameworks, and risk assessment of novel pest control technologies
• Case studies, field innovations, and success stories

This volume welcomes contributions from researchers, academicians, extension specialists, and industry professionals, including original research articles, reviews, and case studies. The book aims to serve as a comprehensive reference for advancing innovative, integrated, and sustainable pest management practices in modern agriculture.
