In the industry of agriculture, farmers are facing a challenge worldwide: the need to simultaneously achieve substantial crop yields and mitigate the adverse environmental effects caused by persistent threats from agricultural parasites. The escalating demand for food in tandem with population expansion exacerbates this intricate dilemma, highlighting the shortcomings of conventional approaches to insect management. As climate change, the development of pest resistance, and the call for reduced chemical inputs intensify, a fundamental change in our approach to pest management becomes imperative. Revolutionizing Pest Management for Sustainable Agriculture , is an exploration into the convergence of technology and tradition, revealing how data-driven methodologies and state-of-the-art technologies are transforming the field of agricultural pest management. Revolutionizing Pest Management for Sustainable Agriculture serves as more than a compilation of developments; it is a strategic guide for policymakers, researchers, and farmers navigating the complexities of contemporary agriculture responsibly. With an objective to bridge the gap between traditional pest management and innovative technology, the book provides practical strategies, case studies, and valuable insights, inviting readers to explore the symbiotic relationship between technology and soil cultivation, paving the way for a paradigm shift in the agricultural industry. This carefully crafted resource is designed for a diverse audience, including agricultural researchers, Agri-tech professionals, policymakers, and educators, empowering them with the knowledge and resources needed to embrace smart solutions, contributing to increased productivity, reduced environmental impact, and the sustainability of agricultural systems.

Papers presented at the National Symposium on Pest Management Strategies : Current Trends and Future Prospects, held at Chennai during 1-2 February, 2001; in Indian context.

This book incorporates new insights and concepts in the hope of helping guide agricultural students, researchers, and practitioners to a deeper understanding of the ecology of agricultural systems that will open the doors to new management options with the objectives of sustainable agriculture.

Nanotechnology in Sustainable Agriculture presents applications of nanobiotechnology for eco-friendly agriculture practices. Implementing sustainable agriculture techniques is a crucial component in meeting projected global food demands while minimising toxic waste in the environment. Nano-technological tools – including nanoparticles, nanocapsules, nanotubes and nanomolecules – offer sustainable options to modernise agriculture systems. Written by nanotechnology experts, this book outlines how nano-formulations can improve yield without reliance on chemecial pesticides and reduce nutrient losses in fertilization. It reveals how nanotools are used for rapid disease diagnostics, in treating plant diseases and enhancing the capacity for plants to absorb nutrients. Features: Combines nanotechnology and agronomy presenting applications for improving plant performance and yields. Reveals nanotechnology-based products used for the soil and plant health management which mitigate climate change. Discusses roles of microbial endophytes, heavy metal nanoparticles and environment health, nano-nutrients, phytochemicals, green bioengineering and plant health. This book appeals to professionals working in the agriculture and food industry, as well as agricultural scientists and researchers in nanotechnology and agronomy.

The agricultural food system needs to provide access to enough healthy and affordable food for the growing population and mitigate its impact on the planet for future generations. Emerging technologies can help farmers increase yields.The book presents theoretical and applied aspects of nanotechnology, biotechnology, plant breeding and smart farming to increase plant productivity, crop yield, soil fertility and crop soil monitoring.

Worldwide, soybean seed proteins represent a major source of amino acids for human and animal nutrition. Soybean seeds are an important and economical source of protein in the diet of many developed and developing countries. Soy is a complete protein and soyfoods are rich in vitamins and minerals.Soybean protein provides all the essential amino acids in the amounts needed for human health. Recent research suggests that soy may also lower risk of prostate, colon and breast cancers as well as osteoporosis and other bone health problems and alleviate hot flashes associated with menopause. This volume is expected to be useful for student, researchers and public who are interested in soybean.
