The book covers over 500 arthropod pests that attack a wide range of horticultural crops, including fruits, vegetables, flowers, and ornamentals. Each pest is described in detail, with information on its biology, host range, damage symptoms, and management strategies. The book also includes over 500 high-quality color photographs, making it easy for growers to identify the pests they are dealing with.

In addition to providing detailed information on individual pests, the book also discusses general principles of pest management, including integrated pest management (IPM) and biological control. IPM is a holistic approach to pest management that emphasizes the use of non-chemical methods, such as crop rotation, sanitation, and natural enemies, to control pests. Biological control involves the use of natural enemies, such as predators and parasites, to suppress pest populations.

Arthropod Pests of Horticultural Crops in Tropical Asia is an essential resource for growers who want to effectively manage arthropod pests and protect their crops. The book is also a valuable reference for students, researchers, and extension workers who are interested in pest management in tropical Asia.
