Crop Protection Driven Food Safety and Security

“Crop Protection-driven Food Safety and Security”. Upon implementation of the Green Revolution, manifold increase in food production rendered a new era of chemical agriculture resulting in adverse effects on flora, fauna, soil, water, human health and ecology. Technological improvements in crop protection such as soil and seed-treatment, biofumigation, sitespecific management, non-chemicals and biopesticides, sound and needbased use of semiochemicals, the introduction of resistant or tolerant plant materials, the introduction of biotechnological approaches, and overall the IPM strategies have made a significant contribution to obtain the least polluted agri-commodities with minimum disturbance to the ecosystem. The current book discusses various issues on (i) abiotic and biotic stresses threatening agriculture, (ii) non-chemical strategies encouraging organic management, (iii) chemical tactics against biotic stress, (iv) improving agricultural commodities using postharvest tools, and (v) legal implications in pest management.
