It’s a matter of chance that on one side we have been able to feed the millennium but lacking behind lot of problems which is not easily curable because it has emerged out in the form of disease.

This book has been designed to present overall information, in nut shell and application of bio-pesticides in advance agriculture technology to come across not to cause any incidence in all creature.
