Life within gall, the main principle is "A gall gives the inducing insect food and shelter "The insects Pauropsylla depressa, which cause galls on the Ficus glomerata plants they live on, are introduced in this book. One of the common trees in this genus is Ficus glomerata Roxb., and Ficus racemosa Linn. is a synonym for it. It investigates how gall insects have adapted to spend a portion of their lives in the cramped quarters of galls and details the various tactics used by various insect groups to locate an appropriate location for gall induction, acquire nutrition, shelter, and mate, as well as to get out of the gall. Galls are formed by diverse insect species on a range of plant species. Positively, the book explains the vital roles that gall-inducing insects play in managing invasive weeds, and producing native food. Information on the biology, ecology, and biological control of gall insects, P. depressa are covered in the book. Provide information on gall collection and study as well. I'm sure readers will find the Life within Gall section of "Gall insect" helpful.

This book provides the biology, penetration and emergence behaviour of Hemipteran mermithid, Hexamermis vishwakarma Dhiman that can be used as biological control agents against insect pests (Leptocoris augur) of the Kusam tree. Thus, the entomophilic mermithids offer a promising potential for insect control and these nematodes have been used in different parts of the world as biological insecticides. But, in India, the economic value of mermithids in insect pest control does not appear to have been fully appreciated yet. In India, field trials to control the insect pests utilising these nematodes, are still awaited. Experimental and field trials to control Leptocoris augur (Fabr.) by using H. vishwakarma have yielded significant success and its use as a biocontrol agent is suggested. However, the use of nematodes requires detailed studies on their ecological relationships with the insects prior to biological control operation.

This book provides thorough information about food science and nutrition. It gives insights into the role of nutrition in food and how it is essential for the human body. It will help the readers in keeping pace with the rapid changes in this field. With the precise aim of enhancing students' skills through a detailed analysis of diverse topics such as food processing, dietary guidelines, nutritive value, and food. Divided into four parts, each to address the broad components of food science and nutrition, this book is a course-defining learning asset that will benefit students and hardened food professionals. An important feature of the NEP- 2020 syllabus is the introduction of co-curricular courses each semester. In the first semester, students are expected to study a co-curricular course on Food and Nutrition.
