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.

Reducing crop losses, minimizing pesticide use, avoiding pesticide residues, increasing farmer's income and enhancing environmental health are the hallmarks of sustainable agriculture. How can this be achieved through the use of green pesticides? Green pesticides refer to all types of nature-oriented and beneficial pest control materials that contribute to reduce the pest population and increase food production. They are safe and ecofriendly. They are more compatible with the environment components than synthetic pesticides. Eminent scientists have highlighted the importance of green...

Bioinformatics is a computer-assisted interface discipline dealing with acquisition, storage, management, access and processing of biological data. Bioinformatics is useful in identifying genes in DNA sequences, in the study of structure and function of gene and protein sequences, in identifying families of related sequences, in aligning similar sequences and generating phylogenetic trees, in discovering drug targets, and in drug development. This book is designed to provide the newcomer to bioinformatics with enough information to understand the principles of bioinformatic applications. The...
