Most of the standard textbooks of applied entomology talks about insect-pest management and when it comes to commercial aspects of insects, only apiculture, sericulture and lac culture are talked about. This book will help bring other commercial uses of insects and their economic potential. This will generate interest in further research interest in commercial potential of insects, thereby harnessing a much-found resource. Salient Features: 1. Encompasses all major aspects of beneficial and commercial insects 2. Deals with edible insects and mass culture of natural enemies and beneficial insects 3. Emphasis on mass cultivation of beneficial insects for obtaining yields 4. Discusses stingless bees and their products 5. Helps to solve problem of food scarcity and improve food security"-- Provided by publisher. |
