Every cultivated plant or tree has its own specific insect enemies.and agricultural products,which,are grown and stored at so much expence and trouble,are also not exempt from the depredations of insects.It has been computed that over 200 species of insects occur as major pests nd that the damage caused by them both in the field as well as the godown.deprives the ryot by about 10 to 15%of his legitimate earnings.It has also been estimated by various authorities that the overall food deficit for the entire country is from 7 to 15%.It would thus seem as if the entomologist by himself might be able to wipe out food deficit in the country by controlling insect damage to crops.
