Pest management is an essential component of agriculture because pests such as insects, diseases and weeds cause significant crop losses worldwide. Traditional pest management methods mainly rely on manual field scouting and chemical pesticide applications, which are labour-intensive and often lead to environmental pollution, pesticide resistance, and health risks. Therefore, there is an increasing need for advanced technologies that can improve the efficiency and precision of pest monitoring and control. Robotic technology has emerged as an innovative solution to overcome the limitations of conventional pest management practices. Agricultural robots equipped with sensors, computer vision, artificial intelligence and autonomous navigation systems can detect pest infestations, monitor crop conditions and perform targeted pest control operations. Robotic platforms such as unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) and unmanned ground vehicles (UGVs) enable real-time crop monitoring, early pest detection, and site-specific pesticide application. These technologies reduce labour requirements, minimize chemical usage and improve the efficiency and sustainability of pest management in agriculture.

Breeding Oilseed Crops for Sustainable Production: Opportunities and Constraints
<i> <p>Breeding Oilseed Crops for Sustainable Production: Opportunities and Constraints</i> presents key insights into accelerating the breeding of sustainable and superior varieties. </p> <p>The book explores the genetic engineering/biotechnology that has played a vital role in transforming economically important traits from distant/wild species to cultivated varieties, enhancing the quality and quantity of oil and seed yield production. Integrated nutrient management, efficient water management, and forecasting models for pests diseases outbreaks and integrated pest and pest management have also added new dimensions in breeding for sustainable production. With the rise in demand, the scientific community has responded positively by directing a greater amount of research towards sustainable production both for edible and industrial uses. </p> <p>Covering the latest information on various major world oil crops including rapeseed mustard, sunflower, groundnut, sesame, oilpalm, cotton, linseed/flax, castor and olive, this book brings the latest advances together in a single volume for researchers and advanced level students. </p>
