Description
Focusing on insect pests of tree fruits and combining behavioral research with crop protection applications, this book emphasizes the importance of environmentally sustainable approaches in an agroecosystem.
As the human impact upon the environment becomes more apparent and severe, the need to develop agricultural techniques that cause minimal damage to the environment has increased. This is particularly the case in the area of pest management, where integrated pest management (IPM) strategies have become a fundamental component of plant protection.
Both experimental and applied topics are discussed, including the conceptual framework of IPM, functional and behavioral ecology of a pest, host detection mechanisms and monitoring tool development, as well as pest management case studies. Representing a comprehensive discussion of tree-fruit pest management, from the evolution, ecology and behavior of insect pests to the implementation of applied biorational programs, this is essential reading for researchers as well as commercial growers and extension agents.
