Handbook of Biological Control
Author: T. W. Fisher
Publisher: Elsevier
ISBN: 0080533019
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 1073
Book Description
For many years the use of chemical agents such as pesticides and herbicides has been effective in controlling the many varieties of pests that infest both agricultural crops and backyard gardens. However, these pests are gradually becoming resistant to these agents, because the agents themselves are acting as selective factors making the pests better and better able to resist and persist. As a result, the use of biological controlling agents is increasing. This book is a comprehensive and authoritative handbook of biological control.

Pheromones
Author: Veeraswami Nandagopal
Publisher: Notion Press
ISBN: 1948352818
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 379
Book Description
This book enables the students, researchers and teachers of crop protection faculty to understand and practice the pheromones of the fauna that have been designated by scientists. This compendium of information includes the following topics amongst others: • A timeline detailing the history of the pheromones • Information on the mentors of pheromone research • Types of signalling in various groups of fauna • Modes of communication among fauna and insects • Alarm signals, attractants, recognition signals, indirect guiding Kinesis, orthokinesis, klinokinesis, etc. • Types of communication among conspecifics • Modes of Communication • The broad categories of the pheromones • Pheromones in fiction, media franchises, literature etc. • Courting behaviour of fauna • Mating categories and mating behaviour and much more The book contains the 12 different types of classifications which are the world standard classification. In addition, for the benefit of researchers, and field workers, the various types of dispensers used in traps are mentioned. The book also discusses the possibilities of pheromones as antiseptic chemicals and pheromonotherapy amongst various other facts.

Biological Control of Insect Pests Using Egg Parasitoids
Author: S. Sithanantham
Publisher: Springer Science & Business Media
ISBN: 8132211812
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 435
Book Description
The theme of the book is highly relevant to the current emphasis on environment conservation, with focus on native biodiversity conservation in agro-ecosystems. The current impetus being given to organic farming and export oriented agri-hortculture in the country calls for access to relevant scientific knowledge base among the stakeholders. Research on biological pest control is more than a century old in India. Egg parasitoids, which are mainly tiny wasps, led by the family Trichogrammatidae, are the most widely utilized natural enemies for biological control globally. Over thirty countries are using these bioagents to protect over 10 million hectares of agricultural and forestry crops from many important insect pests. The book comprises 18 chapters, which are arranged in continuum, commencing with basic aspects of knowledge and ending in their utilization targets. The chapters cover broadly four areas: bio-diversity and natural occurrence of egg parasitoids, behaviour and adaptation of egg parasitoids, mass production and safe use of egg parasitoids and utilisation of egg parasitoids in different crop ecosystems. Some of the chapters cater to the needs of discipline-wise update on the current R&D scenario-like insect taxonomy, biotechnology, mass-production and quality control of the target organisms - egg-parasitoids, which are useful for laboratory scientists/researchers. There are also chapters devoted to knowledge status and scope for utilization of egg parasitoids in different target crops, which cater to requirements of field entomologists and extensionists for use in their tasks of guiding farmers/local guides. The book is different in approach, method, structure and content and ensures holistic coverage of the topic. The chapters are written by active and experienced workers in different crops and aspects and co-edited by four very experienced experts who have over three decades R&D experience in the subject. All the authors have uniformly focussed on comprehensive literature study and critical identification of knowledge gaps for future R&D, thus the book is novel in outlook, up-to-date in content and comprehensive in coverage of themes. This book will be useful for supplementary reading for MSc Agriculture and PhD Agriculture students, besides MSc/PhD research students in Zoology/Environmental Biology, who are specialising in Entomology. It would also serve as a very useful reference book for researchers worldwide, though focus is also there on Indian work. It addresses the special information needs of students and faculty, besides practitioners and extensionists in the Australasia and Africa regions and thus not limited to the R&D knowledge generated in developed countries.
