Areawide Pest Management Theory and Implementation
Edited by O Koul, Insect Biopesticide Research Centre, Jalandhar, India , G W Cuperus, Oklahoma State University, USA, N Elliot, USDA, USA
Main Description
Pest management has long been a problem for farmers worldwide and new techniques are continually being developed to reduce the adverse effects of pest populations. The use of areawide pest management has increased dramatically over the past decade and offers potential advantages to traditional and more localized approaches. Suppression over a broad area can reduce re-infestation of previously treated areas and the specific pest management techniques may be more effective when applied over larger areas. Providing the first comprehensive discussion of areawide pest management, this book will explore the theoretical development and implementation of techniques from a worldwide perspective. Areas covered include history and development, biological and ecological impacts and recent case studies of pest management programmes.
Readership
Students and researchers in crop protection and pest management.
