Standard management options for insect pest control on crops include biological, non-chemical, and chemical approaches. However, because agricultural crops face a wide range of insect pests throughout the year, it can prove difficult to find a simple solution to insect pest control in many, if not most, cropping systems. A whole-farm or integrated pest management approach combines cultural, natural, and chemical controls to maintain insect pest populations below levels that cause economic damage to the crop. This practice requires accurate species identification and thorough knowledge of the biology and ecology of the target organism. Integration and effective use of various control components is often enhanced when the target organism is correctly identified, and its biology and ecology are known. This book provides a key resource toward that identification and understanding.
Students and professionals in agronomy, insect detection and survey, and economic entomology will find the book a valuable learning aid and resource tool.
- Includes insect synonyms, common names, and geographic distribution
- Provides information on natural enemies
- Is thoroughly referenced for future research
Students and agronomist, crop protection, and extension specialists. Teachers, graduates and under graduates of agriculture, who will specialize in agronomy and economic entomology
