BIOLOGY AND MANAGEMENT OF KEY INSECT PESTS OF PULSE CROPS Bishwajeet Paul Division of Entomology‚ Indian Agricultural Research Institute‚ New Delhi-110012. Pulses are defined as the dried edible seeds of cultivated legumes. The English word pulse is originated from the Latin word ‘puls’‚ meaning pottage or thick pap. They belong to the family Leguminosae and include peas‚ beans and lentils. The edible pulses constitute a large group of various species that are capable or surviving in very

CHAPTER 2 Cuckoo Search Algorithm This chapter provides a breif introduction to the area of Nature Inspired Algorithms and its classification. Among all the categories‚ Swarm intelligence will be the main area of focus. Various swarm intelligence techinques will be discussed in the later sections. Cuckoo Search Algorithm is also one of the latest swarm intelligence technique which is focused in this dissertation to solve the problem discussed in chapter 1. 1.
