This book ‘Rainfed Rabi Crop Protection Constraints and Mitigation Strategies’ provides pictorial depictions of damaging symptoms and the pest itself along with their mitigation strategies in a very simple and concise manner. It is a very timely effort to help the farming community and reduce the pesticidal load in the environment. Rabi crops of rainfed areas are inflicted by several important insect pests, diseases and weeds.
