At this juncture, this book comes as a compilation of different methods available for lethal and sublethal toxicity assessment to facilitate the researchers to have a choice of methods so as the best and most relevant ones can be used. The book is broadly divided as toxicity in plants comprising of predators, parasitoids, pollin
