Book excerpt: Excerpt from Boll Weevil Suppression, Management, and Elimination Technology: Proceedings of a Conference, February 13-15, 1974, Memphis, Tennessee These developments spurred the cotton industry, in 1958, to appeal to Congress for an overall program of research that would adequately deal with an ever-increasing boll weevil problem. Congress directed the Secretary of Agriculture to review the situation and submit a report of research and facility needs to meet the boll weevil problem. The Office of the Secretary appointed a study group to develop the information. The study group's report made two recommendations. The first provided for increasing ongoing re search at three of the Six locations where Federal research on the boll weevil was underway. The second recommendation provided for the establishment of the Boll Weevil Research Laboratory to concentrate on new approaches to boll weevil control. In 1960, Congress appropriated the necessary funding to implement the two recommendations. The intensified joint research efforts of the cotton industry, State agricultural experiment stations, and the us. Department of Agriculture during the next 8 years resulted in the develop ment of a number of extremely promising suppression measures. These achievements prompted the National Cotton Council of America, in 1969, to appoint a special study committee on boll weevil eradication. This committee, with the help of a technical advisory group, considered actions that should be taken if and when research advanced to the stage that boll weevil eradication might be considered to be technically and operationally feasible. In a meeting of this committee and its advisory group, held on May 6, 1969, reports of progress in research suggested that suppression tech niques might already have been developed to the extent that eradication might be achieved. Therefore, the committee felt that a pilot experiment was necessary to test the various suppression measures. A special subcommittee made numerous onsite visits to various boll weevil infested areas and eventually chose an area in south Mississippi, in cluding adjoining areas of Alabama and Louisiana, for the experiment. The area was chosen because it was regarded as one of the most difficult areas in which to achieve eradication. The Pilot Boll Weevil Eradication Experiment, the largest entomological experiment ever attempted, encompassed a land area of approximately square miles, of Which approximately was planted in cotton. A Technical Guidance Committee was appointed to provide overall guidance for the conduct of the experiment and liaison with the numerous industry, State, and Federal groups involved, and to assess the results of the experiment. Funding was provided by the State of Mississippi. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book excerpt: Perhaps the best expression of our intent in organ~z~ng this gathering is found in the definition of the word colloquy and its derivations. A gathering allowing familiar and informal conversation among colleagues with similar interests was our objective. Our motives were, of course, complex. Our main intent was not, however, to add to the list of books competing for the time of the scientific community at-large. However, while informality was our objective, a lasting document exists in the form of this publication of the presentations forming the skeleton on which we built less formal but meatier communications. We hope you can reconstruct on these bones a perception of the state of the art in the subject at hand. The members of this assemblage are specialists in one or more subdisciplines. Their formal communications are found in texts and journals appropriate to their broader disciplines. Often their friends alone are privy to their less formal thoughts, intuitions, hopes, and especially fears and failures. We hoped by organizing this colloquium to develop familiar and informal conversation among those most interested and active in applying semiochemicals in pest control. That community, like others also shared by Gainesville entomologists, has little or no formal organization or means for assemblage. We proposed on this and future occasions to offer the opportunity to this and similar groups to gather, though we do not presume too much to lead but rather to facilitate conversation.

This book was released on 2000 with total page 826 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Much research effort is currently underway to improve and implement the area-wide control of insect pests, in order to minimize the use of pesticides and protect the environment. This volume is an outcome of two major international meetings, the FAO/IAEA International Conference on Area-Wide Control of Insect Pests, and the Fifth International Symposium on Fruit Flies of Economic Importance, both held in June 1998 in Penang. More than 300 pages were presented, but this volume includes the 91 considered the most valuable by an international review panel. Papers have been edited, revised and updated as necessary. Contributors include respected research workers from all over the world. The volume will be an indispensable reference volume for workers in agricultural, medical and veterinary entomology.
