Book excerpt: Handbook of Agricultural Entomology by Helmut van Emden is a landmark publication for students and practitioners of entomology applied to agriculture and horticulture. It can be used as a reference and as a general textbook. The book opens with a general introduction to entomology and includes coverage of the major insects (and mites) that cause harm to crops, livestock and humans. The important beneficial species are also included. Organisms are described in a classification of insect Orders and Families. The emphasis is on morphological characters of major taxonomic divisions, “spot characters” for the recognition of Families, and the life histories, damage symptoms and economic importance of the various pest species. The book is beautifully illustrated in full colour with more than 400 figures showing both the organisms and the damage caused to plants with diagnostic characters indicated by arrows. Coverage is world-wide and includes much material stemming from the vast personal experience of the author. A companion website with additional resources is available at www.wiley.com/go/vanemden/agriculturalentomology

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The influence of insects on human life – destructive and beneficial – can be traced back to prehistoric days until now. Agricultural entomology concerns itself with the study of insects associated with various aspects of agriculture. It deals with the study of both beneficial and detrimental insects. Insects that are detrimental to agriculture are commonly known as insect pests. The bulk of agricultural entomology deals with the control of those. Insect pest control is now conducted through integrated pest management (IPM) principles that aim to be sustainable in the use of resources and environmentally friendly. IPM requires plenty of experience and knowledge and combines all available methods of control. Prevention is also an important component of IPM programs. In India, agriculture is the main occupation of the majority of people. The most important natural enemies of agricultural crops are insects, plant diseases, weeds and weather conditions. Out of this, insects are the greatest competitors of man in the struggle for existence. In the present topic the various kinds of pest will be studied in broad sense/view.

Download or read book Agricultural Entomology written by Dennis S. Hill and published by Timber Press (OR). This book was released on 1994 with total page 646 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Agricultural Entomology presents a global view of the insect groups that are of major significance to human resources. "Agriculture" in this broad sense includes plants grown for food, horticultural field crops, and other ornamentals. Information is also included on insect pests of stored products, forest resources, and livestock, although in less detail. The book is intended for use as a college text and reference and assumes a basic knowledge of entomology but is also of great value outside the classroom for its comprehensive and detailed approach. There is a chapter on beneficial insects, including pollinators, honeybees, silkworms, and insects from which shellac and cochineal are made. Hundreds of high-quality line drawings and black-and-white photographs illustrate the insects, and an illustrated glossary and indexes of scientific and common names are provided. Almost all countries of the world are undergoing agricultural diversification programs with the introduction of new and exotic crops. Yet most books on insect pests restrict coverage to one country or region or to the tropics or temperate zones. The global approach of Agricultural Entomology emphasizes the similarities and important differences between insect pests of the major continents. It thus brings attention to insect species that might well spread as pests to new geographical areas. Closely related species are also treated, highlighting problems of control that could result from unsubstantiated identifications. Agricultural Entomology is a valuable resource for growers and gardeners interested in the developing field of integrated pest management. With copious information on the biology of insects around the globe, this authoritative and comprehensive book is an essential tool for anyone interested in understanding both the foes and allies of the insect world.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The book on Agricultural Entomology is a revolutionary publication for researchers and students entomology. It can be conveniently used as a ready reference and as a broad-spectrum textbook. First five chapters of the book introduce the audience with fundamental concepts of entomology, features of insects, classification of insects and impacts of environmental conditions on insects and vice-versa. Last three chapters of the book deal with plant disease transmission by insects and integrated pest management techniques. Insect pests are causing in a severe economic loss to essential crops globally. However, the control of insect pests has made a key contribution to IPM (integrated pest management) in the world. This book is aimed at presenting the fundamental knowledge about Agricultural Entomology in a simple manner. The text essentially covers the main conceptual paradigms in agricultural entomology which include Economic significance of insects, morphological function and structures, development and growth, behavior and ecology, social insects, feeding habits, beneficial insects, post-harvest losses of grain, classification of insects, integrated pest management (IPM) and practical applications of IPM. This book provides a comprehensive analysis of insects and their impacts on environment and human health. The detailed discussion about different classes of insects and their characteristics is also presented in the book. Pest management techniques are also outlined in the book to provide beneficial information to farmers and land owners. This book is intended for general audience but can be effectively used by readers from agricultural and pest management backgrounds.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Agricultural entomology is a fascinating field of study that explores into the complex relationships between insects and agriculture. This branch of entomology focuses on understanding the insects that impact crops, both as pests and as beneficial organisms. By investigating their behavior, ecology, and interactions, agricultural entomologists aim to develop effective strategies for pest control and crop protection. The field of agricultural entomology covers a wide range of research topics and applications. The book encompasses a diverse array of studies, including investigations into the survival and feeding behavior of specific insect species on common cover crops in citrus orchards, the cold tolerance of invasive lace bugs, and the population dynamics of kudzu bugs and their parasitoids in the southeastern USA. It also explores into the critical role of wild bumblebees in the pollination of Irish faba beans and explores the effectiveness of light spectra blocking films in reducing populations of western flower thrips in strawberry crops. The book will be of immense beneficial to agricultural professionals, entomologists, researchers, and students interested in the intersection of insects and agriculture. Farmers and agricultural advisors will find valuable insights and practical recommendations for managing insect pests and promoting beneficial insects on their farms.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Insects are seldom mentioned in history texts, yet they significantly shaped human history. The Silken Thread: Five Insects and Their Impacts on History tells the stories of just five insects, tied together by a thread originating in the Silk Roads of Asia, and how they have impacted our world. Silkworms have been farmed to produce silk for millennia, creating a history of empires and cultural exchanges; Silk Roads connected East to West, generating trade centers and transferring ideas, philosophies, and religions. The western honey bee feeds countless people, and their crop pollination is worth billions of dollars. Fleas and lice carried bacteria that caused three major plague pandemics, moved along the Silk Roads from Central Asia. Bacteria carried by insects left their ancient clues as DNA embedded in victims' teeth. Lice caused outbreaks of typhus, especially in crowded conditions such as prisons and concentration camps. Typhus aggravated the effects of the Irish potato famine, and Irish refugees took typhus to North America. Yellow fever was transported to the Americas via the trans-Atlantic slave trade, taking and devaluing the lives of millions of Africans. Slaves were brought to the Americas to reduce labor costs in the cultivation of sugarcane, which was itself transported from south Asia along the Silk Roads. Yellow fever caused panic in the United States in the 1700s and 1800s as the virus and its mosquito vector migrated from the Caribbean. Constructing the Panama Canal required defeating mosquitoes that transmitted yellow fever. The silken thread runs through and ties together these five insects and their impacts on history"--
