Considering the extensive syllabus of the subject, this objective textbook has been scripted to
comprehensively include majority of the topics in agricultural entomology. This book will prove to be a valuable tool for the students aspiring to achieve success at the national level examinations as it includes the most recent developments in the field of agricultural entomology. For easy understanding and precise learning, the questions has been systematically grouped into 6 sections viz., Taxonomy, Morphology, Anatomy & Physiology, Economic entomology and Applied entomology. Each section is further divided into individual chapters.
