Plants Entomology and Pest Management

• Infestation of farms, rangelands, and forests
• Obstructions to streams and waterways
• Damage to crops
• Loss of wildlife habitats

Disease and quality of life impacts in populated areas Entomology is the study of insects and their relationship to the environment, humans and the other organisms. Study on insects serves as the basis for biological and chemical pest control, fiber and food production, biological diversity, pharmaceuticals epidemiology and a variety of other fields of science.

Agricultural entomology unit is not only about insect pests, but also about beneficial arthropods found in the agro-ecosystem where it contributes to the ecosystem in the way of biological control and pollination.

Pest Management is all about, an organism that reduces the quality, availability or value of a human resource can be classified as a pest. Organisms called as pest when they escape normal control by natural regulating agents.

Therefore pest management means, reduce the pest number to an acceptable threshold. Pest Management methods can be categorized as biological, chemical, cultural, genetic and physical/mechanical.
