Book Description
Johan van Zyl, Director ITSC, cordially welcomed the participants to Nelspruit. He informed the participants that Nelspruit is in the province of Mpumalanga, home of the famous Kruger National Park. Nelspruit is also famous for the mining of coal for electrical power which is much needed in the South African industries. He indicated that 7% of the South African population lives in Nelspruit, and that Nelspruit is one of the major banana-growing areas in South Africa, a sufficient reason to mak it the most appropriate place for the banana IPM workshop. He wished participants a successful and fruitful meeting and promised that ITSC would endeavour to provide a good environment for the success of the meeting.

Plant Parasitic Nematodes in Subtropical and Tropical Agriculture, 3rd Edition
Author: Richard A Sikora
Publisher: CABI
ISBN: 1786391244
Category : Technology & Engineering
Languages : en
Pages : 901
Book Description
Covering all aspects of practical plant nematology in subtropical and tropical agriculture, the third edition of this definitive global reference work is fully revised and in full colour throughout. It covers the presence, distribution, symptomology and management of all economically important plant parasitic nematodes damaging the world's major food and cash crops. This includes: rice, cereals, solanum and sweet potatoes (and other root and tuber crops), food legumes, vegetables, peanut, citrus, fruit tree crops, coconut and other palms, coffee, cocoa, tea, bananas, sugarcane, tobacco, pineapple, cotton, other tropical fibres, spices and medicinal plants. New content for this edition includes: A chapter on nematode soil biodiversity and soil health; Reflections on the future impact of nematodes and nematology on food security; The importance of climate change, emerging threats, and new management technologies for large and small subsistence growers; Significant revisions to the IPM chapter and chapters on vegetables, citrus, legumes, tuber crops, cotton, peanut and banana where major advances in nematode management have occurred. This book is highly illustrated, with up-to-date practical guidance on methods of extraction, processing and diagnosing of different plant and soil nematodes and on integrated pest management. It remains an invaluable resource for those studying and working in the area of crop protection.

Biological Control in IPM Systems in Africa
Author: P. Neuenschwander
Publisher: CABI
ISBN: 1845933389
Category : Technology & Engineering
Languages : en
Pages : 438
Book Description
Annotation. Biological control has made a major contribution to integrated pest management (IPM) in Africa, but its documentation has been scattered and often under-reported. This book provides a review of the most important studies, including not only successes, but also on-going challenges. The focus is on arthropod pests and weeds, but diseases are also covered where significant. In 24 chapters, case studies and promising research results are presented that cover biocontrol by naturally occurring agents, by exotic agents or by seasonal manipulation. This book provides a valuable resource for scientists worldwide. It is particularly useful for pest control professionals working in Africa.
