An International Book on Entomopathogens of Economic Importance: Plant Protection Advances (Volume I)

In The Current Context, Entomopathogens of Economic Importance: Plant Protection Advances is an outcome of Novel Approach towards Scientific Community which is based on Applied Aspects of Science from Laboratory to Land. Entomopathogenic fungi are a group of phylo genetically diverse, heterotrophic, eukaryotic, unicellular or multicellular (filaments) microorganisms that reproduce via sexual or asexual spores or both and are capable of attacking insects using them as hosts to develop part of their life cycle. Significantly mean to reduce pest insect populations to levels that do not cause economic damage to crops or those that are amean of control in the reduction of disease vectors.

Application of Entomopathogens as Biocontrol has increased in recent years due to the great potential representing an efficient alternative to the use of insecticide chemicals. Based upon nature of survival efficiency they can be categorized as facultative or obligate parasites of insects, with a high capacity for sporulation and survival. For Sustainable management program Entomopathogenic fungi plays a key role in Biological plant protection. Book covers a wide range of topics spanning medicinal, environmental, bimolecular, and agricultural research on mycology several prominent and notable speakers from around the world will present their research findings.

Since prehistoric time, agriculture sector. Keep in view of social and economic aspect first Section A deals with wider application of varied number of Entmopathogens as Appropriate Biocontrol agents.

Myconanotechnology is an emerging advance field with moves with faster pace to boost sustainable solution for agricultural and pharmaceutical sectors. It is considered as a transition bridge to connect mycology with nanotechnology. More functional fungi are potential secretors of extracellular enzymes thus considered to potential producers of metal nanoparticles and nanostructure by reducing enzymes intracellularly or extracellularly. Concept of Mycofabrication refers to synthesis of gold, silver, Cds, platinum affecting the lives of human health by varied number of applications in Biologically labelling fluorescent, gene and drug delivery factor and biological detection of pathogens, tissue engineering etc.
