It appears peculiar that an Entomologist should be asked to contribute a paper on the above subject. He has no method to be adopted for production and development of improved plant materials. He cannot also make any direct contribution for maximising crop production except when bee colonies can be utilised to increase yields and the only part he can probably play is to check the minimisation of production due to pests. It is in this that the Entomologist can be admitted to have his say in the subject chosen for the symposium at this Conference.
