Due to global trade liberalization on import and export of agricultural produce, planting material and flourishing tourism, the risks of exotic and invasive pests have increased in the recent years by many folds. As a result there is a dire need to safeguard agriculture and allied industries which are likely to be affected by accidental introduction of exotic and alien species. Classical Biological Control (CBC) is a sound and sustainable way to safeguard the biodiversity ravaged by the introduced pests in the area of agriculture, forestry as well as vectors associated with human and animal health. In this direction, the book provides an insight to tackle exotic pest problems through CBC. The book also highlights the need, procedures, success stories and simple field characters to identify important insect species and their sexes; which is the outcome of author's long national and international exposure on the subject. Interestingly, it suggests value addition and use of potential biocontrol agents as biological gold due to their higher nutraceutical and therapeutic properties, which is a new dimension to be explored in order to improve the economy of resource poor communities.
