Another high point of this book is that, in the book, the approach has been made to entomology as an applied science rather than an ‘Ivory tower’ one. Students would be enlightened on economic entomology, starting with pollination and natural control, moving to biotechnology and forensic sciences. Discussions range from bees and silk moths to agricultural, forestry, and public health pest species.
The ZOO506 Applied Entomology also provides a review of Integrated Pest Management strategies with an emphasis on environmentally sustainable methods of insect pest control. Specific areas to be discussed will cover biological control, pheromones, and genetic techniques in the management of pests. This helps a student to understand how there is a reduction of pesticide use as a method of maintaining ecosystems and human health.
The book goes into more detail on the ecosystem role of insects as decomposers, pollinators, and in their positions within food webs. It also looks at pressing global issues like the decline in population of some pollinators, how that affects agriculture, and, by extension, all living organisms.
Students also obtain the advantage in learning latest research techniques for example Molecular entomology, the GIS based insect mapping to name the required research and give useful furtherance’s to the Science of the Entomology.
Students studying this book, ZOO506 – Applied Entomology, will gain appropriate skills and knowledge to address the applied issues of agriculture, public health, and environmental conservation. It is designed not only for student success but also to lay the ground for graduate or professional careers in the study of entomology, pest management, and ecological research.
