This book provides a comprehensive introduction to the history, development, and application of pest control methods, with a particular focus on chemical pesticides and plant protection technologies. Designed primarily for undergraduate students of agriculture, it also serves as a valuable resource for postgraduate students of entomology, professionals in plant protection, and enthusiasts in the field. The text traces the evolution of pest management, from the early use of natural and inorganic compounds to the advent of synthetic pesticides like DDT and the development of modern formulations with reduced mammalian toxicity and quick knockdown effects. It also covers advancements in plant protection appliances, from hand-operated sprayers to aerial spraying techniques for large-scale pest control. Enriched with hand-drawn illustrations and insights from both Indian and international sources, the book combines scientific rigor with practical relevance. The authors extend their gratitude to colleagues and publishers for their support in bringing this resource to fruition.
