Download or read book Soil Solarization and Integrated Management of Soilborne Pests written by James Stapleton and published by . This book was released on 2005-01-01 with total page 657 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Soil solarization is gradually becoming a recognized control strategy for soilborne pathogens and weeds. Studies, particularly in hot climates, have demonstrated the effectiveness of this method for protection of many vegetables, field crops, fruit-trees, ornamental plants and nursery transplants. Soil solarization causes chemical, physical and biological changes in the soil and thus provides effective management of soilborne pests, improves plant growth and development and often results in substantial yield increases. Successful field-scale application of pre-planting soil solarization, both in protected agriculture and in open fields, is under way in many parts of the world, substituting for chemical control or contributing to integrated pest management (IPM) programmes. In addition, post-planting solarization has been employed in established fruit-tree orchards and perennial crops.

Download or read book Biofumigation in Plant Disease Management written by Kumar Jatindra and published by LAP Lambert Academic Publishing. This book was released on 2015-05-29 with total page 140 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Soilborne plant pathogens are among the major factors limiting the productivity of agro-ecosystems. They are often difficult to control with conventional strategies such as the use of resistant host cultivars and synthetic fungicides. The lack of reliable chemicals, the occurrence of fungicide resistance in pathogens and associated environmental risks, and the breakdown or circumvention of host resistance by pathogen populations are some of the reasons underlying efforts to develop new disease control measures. Over the last decade, the attention for bioactive natural molecules is strongly increased because public opinion considers them as a mild, safe and reliable option to prevent or to fight not only several diseases in humans, but even different plant pathogens, thus limiting the use of synthetic pesticides in agriculture. Among several bioactive molecules, glucosinolates from Brassicaceae and their enzymatic degradation products especially isothiocyanates (ITCs) via myrosinase stand out as very promising alternative for the management of variety of pests including weeds, insects and plant pathogens.

Download or read book Natural Products in Plant Pest Management written by N. K. Dubey and published by CABI. This book was released on 2010-11-24 with total page 307 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Overzealous and indiscriminate use of many synthetic pesticides during recent decades in the control of plant pests has resulted in a number of environmental and toxicological problems. Reducing the release of synthetic chemicals into the environment requires that alternative sources of chemicals are developed that can be used safely in the management of plant pests. Botanical antimicrobials derived from plants are currently recognised as biodegradable, systemic, eco-friendly and non-toxic to mammals and are thus considered safe. Their modes of action against pests are diverse. Natural compounds are well suited to organic food production in industrialised countries and can play greater roles in the protection of food crops in developing countries Some plant based antimicrobials (e.g. neem products, pyrethoids and essential oils) are already used to manage pest populations on a large scale. Plant scientists and agriculturists now devote significant attention to discovery and further development and formulation of novel plant products with antimicrobial activity. This book is the first to bring together relevant aspects of the basic and applied sciences of natural pesticides and discussed modern trends in the use of natural products in pest management.

Download or read book Recent advances in crop protection written by P.Parvatha Reddy and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-09-14 with total page 282 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the recent years, the need to increase food production to meet the demands of rapidly increasing population from a limited land resource necessitated the use of intensive farming systems, with the inputs like narrow genetic base, high dose of fertilizers, pesticides, irrigation, monocropping, etc. which led to the development of diseases and pest. The effect of changing global climate, particularly the sharp increase in CO2 concentration, has increased the susceptibility of plants to pathogens and pests. Because of the chemicalization of agriculture, the age-old eco-friendly pest management practices like sanitation, crop rotation, mixed cropping, adjustment of date of planting, fallowing, summer ploughing, green manuring, composting, etc. are not being practiced, affecting the crops adversely. This has encouraged researchers to look for eco-friendly and novel approaches for pest management. The information on recent advances in crop protection (involving bacteria, fungi, nematodes, insects, mites and weeds) is scattered. The book delves upon the most latest developments in crop protection such as avermectins, bacteriophages, biofumigation, biotechnological approaches; bio-priming of seeds; disguising the leaf surface; use of non-pathogenic strains, plant defense activators, plant growth promoting rhizobacteria, pathogenesis-related proteins, strobilurin fungicides, RNA interference, and variety of mixtures/cultivar mixtures/multilines; soil solarization; biointensive integrated pest management; among several others (fusion protein-based biopesticides, seed mat technology and environmental methods). This book is a ready reference for students, policy-makers, scientists, researchers and extension workers.

Download or read book Sociology Organic Farming Climate Change and Soil Science written by Eric Lichtfouse and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2009-12-01 with total page 478 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Sustainable agriculture is a rapidly growing field aiming at producing food and energy in a sustainable way for humans and their children. Sustainable agriculture is a discipline that addresses current issues such as climate change, increasing food and fuel prices, poor-nation starvation, rich-nation obesity, water pollution, soil erosion, fertility loss, pest control, and biodiversity depletion. Novel, environmentally-friendly solutions are proposed based on integrated knowledge from sciences as diverse as agronomy, soil science, molecular biology, chemistry, toxicology, ecology, economy, and social sciences. Indeed, sustainable agriculture decipher mechanisms of processes that occur from the molecular level to the farming system to the global level at time scales ranging from seconds to centuries. For that, scientists use the system approach that involves studying components and interactions of a whole system to address scientific, economic and social issues. In that respect, sustainable agriculture is not a classical, narrow science. Instead of solving problems using the classical painkiller approach that treats only negative impacts, sustainable agriculture treats problem sources. Because most actual society issues are now intertwined, global, and fast-developing, sustainable agriculture will bring solutions to build a safer world. This book series gathers review articles that analyze current agricultural issues and knowledge, then propose alternative solutions. It will therefore help all scientists, decision-makers, professors, farmers and politicians who wish to build a safe agriculture, energy and food system for future generations.
