Foreword
It was sometime in mid-2012 that I received an invitation to deliver an inaugural key note for the International Conference on Insect Science (ICIS2013) in Bengaluru, India. Despite preoccupations, it was impelling to attend ICIS-2013 because India is the centre of origin for the shoot and fruit borer, Conogethes punctiferalis that obsessed me scientifically for nearly three decades. Secondly, it marked 25 years of fruitful collaboration between Japan and India on Conogethes. Further, a global discussion was planned in ICIS-2013 on the crambid moth—Conogethes—that is undergoing speciation and is expanding geographically and also in its host range. The material presented in this book deals with insect science and pest management that are intimately related. Practica
