His other books include “Plant-parasitic nematodes of India: An Identification Manual”, a monograph on Alaimina, a book on the management of gram pod borer (Helicoverpa armigera), and a book entitled Nematodes as bio-indicator of soil ecosystem published from Germany. He has recently (2018) edited two volumes: entitled “Termites and Sustainable management” Vol I. Biology, Social Behavior & Economic Importance and Vol. II. Economic Losses and Management, published by Springer, Switzerland under its Sustainability in Plant & Crop Protection series. Under another series Sustainability in Crop and Plant Protection: Microbes for Sustainable Insect Pest Management Vol. I. An Eco-friendly Approach was published in 2019 and Vol II.
