This book envisages the basic information pertaining to the insect’s anatomy, physiology and morphology. It is imperative to have a constructive knowledge about the biological process, factors enhancing the process occurring rapidly inside their body system. This ultimately helps us to have an in-depth information about their behaviour in the ecosystem which includes interaction with their host, life cycle etc.

Answer Key
Preface Entomology is a branch of Zoology which deals with the study of Insect and it is derived from Greek word “Entomon” which means Insect and “logia” means knowledge. Insect constitutes the highest number of living species. They have the ability to reproduce in high numbers within short time, highly specialized morphological features, capacity to fly and their survival in different adverse ecologies makes a constant wonder and enables them to dominate on earth. This book envisages the basic information pertaining to the insect’s anatomy, physiology and morphology. It is imperative to have a constructive knowledge about the biological process, factors enhancing the process occurring rapidly inside their body system. This ultimately helps us to have an in-depth information about their behaviour in the ecosystem which includes interaction with their host, life cycle etc. We hope that this book will provide a comprehensive view to all the inspiring readers preparing for competitive exams such as JRF/SRF/ARS/State Entrance exam and other competitive exams related to Agricultural Entomology.
