Biological controls that utilize natural predation, parasitism or other natural mechanisms, is an environmentally friendly alternative to chemical pesticides. Chemical pesticide methods are becoming less readily available due to increasing resistance problems and the prohibition…
Contemporary Insect Diagnostics aids entomologists as they negotiate the expectations and potential dangers of the practice. It provides the reader with methods for networking with regulatory agencies, expert laboratories, first detectors, survey specialists, legal and health pr…
A companion to Urban Pest Management, this book builds on the issues of insect pests in urban settings to discuss control strategies that look beyond products. From an environmental and health perspective, it is not always practical to spray chemicals indoors or in urban setting…
"This new edition builds on the explosion of research on sustainable agriculture since the late 1980s. By separating myth from reality, Miguel Altieri extracts the key principles of sustainable agriculture and expounds on management systems that really work. Providing case studi…

This book contains 33 chapters focusing on taxonomy, population dynamics, biological characteristics, feeding behaviour, crop damage, disease transmission, control, monitoring and forecasting of aphid pests of various crops. The efficacy of various methods (biological, chemical,…
"This book describes the background and present state of pest management in cotton crops throughout the world. Cotton is one of the most economically important crops globally, and new, emerging pests driven by climate change, for example, are proving increasingly problematic. Th…
This book is a result of the Natural Products for Pest Management symposium held at the 244th ACS National Meeting in Philadelphia, PA August 19-23, 2012. The symposium introduced recent discoveries and applications of natural products from insect, terrestrial plant, microbial,…
"This volume provides a holistic overview of the advances in the use of biological control agents (BCAs) and plant resistance inducers to reduce various phytopathogenic infections of grapevine. The ecology, mechanisms involved in protection and application methods of these BCAs …
This text presents a spectrum of views on the benefits and risks in the use of biotechnology in integrated pest management. It assesses the likelihood of new technologies being usefully incorporated into IPM programmes, and discusses types of new biotechnologies.
