This book was released on 2013-03-09 with total page 426 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The original stimulus which started KENNETH SPENCER on a study of the Agro myzid flies was an invitation, which he accepted, to translate from the German the monograph on Leaf Miners by Professor E. M. HERING. From this developed nearly 20 years of collaboration until Professor HERING's death in 1967. Dr. SPENCER has himself described over 600 new species in the family, many of which he collected and reared from known host plants during his extensive travels to all the five main continents. Largely as a result of his work, the number of species known in Britain has increased from 90 in 1945 to 313 today. He is thus uniquely qualified to write this book about the hundred and fifty or so species which are regularly associated with cultivated plants. Much of the taxonomic detail provided here will be of value primarily to specialists; but with the help of a microscope and the botanical host list (Chapter 2) and the numerous illustrations (mostly prepared by ANN SPENCER) those in agri cultural institutes and elsewhere should now be able to identify the majority of species found attacking crops in any part of the world.

Download or read book Insect Resistance Management written by David W. Onstad and published by Academic Press. This book was released on 2013-10-08 with total page 561 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Neither pest management nor resistance management can occur with only an understanding of pest biology. For years, entomologists have understood, with their use of economic thresholds, that at least a minimal use of economics was necessary for proper integrated pest management. IRM is even more complicated and dependent on understanding and using socioeconomic factors. The new edition of Insect Resistance Management addresses these issues and much more. Many new ideas, facts and case studies have been developed since the previous edition of Insect Resistance Management published. With a new chapter focusing on Resistance Mechanisms Related to Plant-incorporated Toxins and heavily expanded revisions of several existing chapters, this new volume will be an invaluable resource for IRM researchers, practitioners, professors and advanced students. Authors in this edition include professors at major universities, leaders in the chemical and seed industry, evolutionary biologists and active IRM practitioners. This revision also contains more information about IRM outside North America, and a modeling chapter contains a large new section on uncertainty analysis, a subject recently emphasized by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency. The final chapter contains a section on insecticidal seed treatments. No other book has the breadth of coverage of Insect Resistance Management, 2e. It not only covers molecular to economic issues, but also transgenic crops, seed treatments and other pest management tactics such as crop rotation. Major themes continuing from the first edition include the importance of using IRM in the integrated pest management paradigm, the need to study and account for pest behavior, and the influence of human behavior and decision making in IRM. Provides insights from the history of insect resistance management (IRM) to the latest science Includes contributions from experts on ecological aspects of IRM, molecular and population genetics, economics, and IRM social issues Offers biochemistry and molecular genetics of insecticides presented with an emphasis on recent research Encourages scientists and stakeholders to implement and coordinate strategies based on local social conditions

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The leafminer Liriomyza trifolii has become an important pest organism in ornamentals and vegetables throughout the world. This leafminer poses a threat to the current pest control system in greenhouse vegetables in the Netherlands. Which employs parasitic wasps, predators and selective cchemicals. Chemical control of L. trifolii problematic due to the rapid development of restance against insecticides. Application of biological control may help to overcome both the difficulty of control of L. trifolii and integration problems with other biological pest control methods. Ideally, a biological control method for L. trifolii should also be effective against anther leafminer, L. bryoniae, which also occurs as a pest in greenhouses.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ecofriendly Pest Management for Food Security explores the broad range of opportunity and challenges afforded by Integrated Pest Management systems. The book focuses on the insect resistance that has developed as a result of pest control chemicals, and how new methods of environmentally complementary pest control can be used to suppress harmful organisms while protecting the soil, plants, and air around them. As the world’s population continues its rapid increase, this book addresses the production of cereals, vegetables, fruits, and other foods and their subsequent demand increase. Traditional means of food crop production face proven limitations and increasing research is turning to alternative means of crop growth and protection. Addresses environmentally focused pest control with specific attention to its role in food security and sustainability. Includes a range of pest management methods, from natural enemies to biomolecules. Written by experts with extensive real-world experience.

Download or read book Some Causes and Consequences of the Petal feeding Behavior of the Serpentine Leafminer Liriomyza Trifolii Burgess Diptera Agromyzidae in Cut Flower Production of Gerbera Jamesonii Hooker written by Andrew C. Merwin and published by . This book was released on 2012 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Defensive structures and chemistries, sugars, proteins, sterols, and vitamins are found in varying degrees within the different organs and tissues of plants. Plants, therefore, represent a heterogeneous environment to insect herbivores. The fact that most theories of herbivory are founded on the consumption of leaves represents an important limitation to the study of plant-insect interactions. In this thesis I explore the act of florivory, or the consumption of flowers, from the insect's perspective. Looking at the serpentine leafminer, Liriomyza trifolii (Burgess), on Gerbera jamesonii Hooker I ask the following questions about feeding and oviposition behavior in these flies: (Chapter 1) Do the residues of currently used insecticides impart any anti-feeding or oviposition deterring effects on L. trifolii, which could potentially influence petal-feeding behavior? (Chapter 2) Does the induction of natal habitat preference in leaves vs flowers influence oviposition and feeding behavior of L. trifolii, and what are the fitness consequences of florivory? Choice tests with pesticide treated and untreated plants revealed that spinosad treated plants reduced feeding and oviposition compared to controls, while abamectin and spinosad treated plants reduced oviposition, indicating that pesticide application has the potential to influence patterns of oviposition and herbivory and could contribute to florivory. A causal link, however, was not tested. The results of preference induction experiments showed that flies previously exposed to leaves preferred to feed and oviposit on leaves, while flies exposed to flowers showed no significant preferences. Flies exposed to flowers thus fed twice as often and oviposited three times as often on petals than leaf-exposed flies. Lifetime fecundity and longevity studies demonstrated that flower-fed flies were shorter-lived than leaf-fed flies or those flies that received a mixed diet. Surprisingly, however, lifetime fecundity was more than 50% higher among flies in the mixed-diet treatment than the other treatments. This thesis begins with two brief literature reviews: the behavioral effects of sublethal pesticide exposure and the consequences of florivory from the insect's perspective.
