 The role of diagnostic tools, weather forecasting, transgenic plants, biological control, and new chemicals in future IPM programmes and strategies to meet the challenges of pest adaptation have been highlighted. The need for improved information transfer, implementation and application of IPM has been discussed. Finally, it is essential to know the status of IPM, its future, challenges and constraints which have been extensively elaborated in the last of this book. The book intends to fill the gap by providing the critical analysis of different management strategies having bearing on agriculture sustainability and environmental protection. The compilation of this book is unique in the sense that it does not deal with the conventional way of discussing pest management with respect to particular crops or the regions. It emphasizes on the other hand an overview of the management strategies with critical evaluation of each in the larger context of ecologically based pest management.

The science of entomology deals with various aspects of insects. In agricultural crop production, insects play a major role in damaging crop plants as well as protecting the crops from pests through biological control strategies. The approach of integrated pest management is more relevant in the present scenario of dependency on synthetic chemicals. Techniques of biological control with entomopathogenic nematodes, the integrated approach as well as the impact of chemical insecticides are discussed in this book under various chapters. Management of storage pests with different storage structures for maize is described. Development of insecticide resistance against insects is a major reason for the failure or overuse of chemical insecticides. The reasons and mechanisms of insecticide resistance are discussed in the book. An interesting chapter on the impact of newer insecticide molecules against pollinators is also described.

La présence envahissante des moustiques et de leurs agents pathogènes modifie notre quotidien et questionne nos habitudes de vie. Les moustiques contribuent à des milliers de décès chaque année dans le monde en transmettant différents parasites et virus, responsables de maladies aux noms bien connus : paludisme, dengue, zika, chikungunya, etc. Ce qui est moins connu, en revanche, c'est que les moustiques participent aussi à l'équilibre des écosystèmes comme source de nourriture pour de nombreuses espèces et qu'ils contribuent à la pollinisation de végétaux. Leur grande diversité morphologique, biologique, écologique et génétique doit être bien appréhendée avant d'envisager des solutions pour mieux contrôler leur diffusion et leur pullulation, et maîtriser ainsi la transmission des agents pathogènes. Devant cette menace en rapide évolution, des stratégies innovantes et concertées de lutte contre ces insectes se déploient dans de nombreux pays. S'adressant à un public large, mais également aux étudiants et à leurs enseignants, ce livre, illustré de nombreux exemples, est une synthèse des connaissances sur les moustiques et sur les méthodes de lutte actuelles.
