These crops are widely cultivated for domestic consumption as well as for export purposes. They are attacked by many insect pests and diseases, which vary with region, season, and variety. This lowers the quality and yield, thereby increasing the cost of production and reduces export potential. **__Integrated Pest Management: strategies for onion and garlic__** discusses methods and tools used to minimize the incidence and severity caused by diseases and insect pests. It also focuses on the symptoms of diseases caused by various pathogens. **Contents:** * Introduction * Integrated Pest Management: key strategies * Major Diseases and their Management * Major Insect Pest and their Management * Nematodes and Mites and their Management **Other books on Life Sciences:** **Biotechnology for food and nutritional security** by Vibha Dhawan (ISBN: 9788179930564) **Genetically Modified Organisms: emerging law and policy in India** by K D Raju (ISBN: 9788179931264) **Health Effects of Pesticides** by C Kesavachandran (ISBN: TBA) **Molecular Biology and Biotechnology**: basic experimental protocols by M P Bansal (ISBN: 9788179933794) **Plant Biotechnology** by S Umesha (ISBN: 9788179935033) **Plant Taxonomy:** past, present, and future by Rajni Gupta (ISBN: 9788179933596) **Process Biotechnology**: theory and practice by S N Mukhopadhyay (ISBN: 9788179933077) **Textbook of Animal Biotechnology** by B Singh (ISBN: 9788179933275) **Textbook of Immunology** by Arvind Kumar (ISBN: 9788179933800) **Textbook of Microbial Genetics** by Keya Chaudhari (ISBN: 9788179933237) **Textbook of Molecular Biology** by K Chaudhuri (ISBN: 9788179933206)
