Download or read book Guidance for Packing Shipping Holding and Release of Sterile Flies in Area wide Fruit Fly Control Programmes written by Walther Enkerlin and published by Food & Agriculture Org.. This book was released on 2007 with total page 148 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There has been little harmonisation of the processes involved in the handling and release of sterile insects after production in mass rearing facilities. There are no standard guidelines available to transfer this technology to FAO or IAEA member countries that want to embark on sterile insect technique (SIT) activities. There is also increased interest by the private sector in investing in sterile insect production and/or other SIT activities, and these harmonized guidelines on the post-production phase will facilitate SIT application and foster the commercialization of the SIT.This guideline resulted from two FAO/IAEA consultants' meetings with representatives of relevant SIT programmes, the first held in Sarasota, Florida, United States of America (April 2004) and the second in Vienna, Austria (August 2005). It has identified a number of gaps in knowledge as well as procedures that are often based on conventional wisdom but which need scientific verification or optimization.

Download or read book Quality Declared Seed System written by Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations and published by Food & Agriculture Org.. This book was released on 2006 with total page 264 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The quality declared seed system, as set out in the FAO Plant Production and Production Paper No. 117 (1993, ISBN 9251032785) has been widely used, particularly by those working in the field of emergency seed supply and as a source of practical information on seed standards for a range of crop species. The system provided an alternative for seed quality assurance, which was less demanding than full seed quality control systems. This publication sets out a revised version, prepared by an expert consultation, which offers a more explicit recognition of the role of national policies and the impact of some recent international obligations on seed provision and a clearer explanation on how quality declared seeds can accommodate local varieties. The list of crops now includes 92 species, of which 21 include open pollinated and hybrids and one includes also a synthetic variety. In making this update, FAO sought to improve seed supplies to farmers and thus to contribute to food security.
Download or read book Integrated Pest Management for Citrus written by Mary Louise Flint and published by Agriculture & Natural Resources. This book was released on 1991 with total page 144 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The purpose of this manual is to help growers and pest control advisers apply the principles of integrated pest management, or IPM, to California citrus crops. IPM emphasizes preventive methods that provide economical, long-term solutions to pest problems. Pesticides are used only when they are necessary to prevent imminent crop loss or damage; thus IPM strategies minimize hazards to human health and the environment. Use this book to plan an IPM strategy for your orchard. The introductory chapters on citrus development, growth requirements, general management practices, and monitoring tools provide the background upon which the management guidelines in the pest sections are based. The introductions to the insect, weed, disease, nematode, and vertebrate chapters tell you where and when major pests occur. Detailed descriptions and photographs of pests and damage symptoms are presented later in each chapter. These sections also discuss how you can enhance natural control factors, design a monitoring program, and use control actions most effectively"--Page 6-7.

Download or read book Strategic Planning for the Florida Citrus Industry written by National Research Council and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 2010-04-15 with total page 329 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Citrus greening, a disease that reduces yield, compromises the flavor, color, and size of citrus fruit and eventually kills the citrus tree, is now present in all 34 Floridian citrus-producing counties. Caused by an insect-spread bacterial infection, the disease reduced citrus production in 2008 by several percent and continues to spread, threatening the existence of Florida's $9.3 billion citrus industry. A successful citrus greening response will focus on earlier detection of diseased trees, so that these sources of new infections can be removed more quickly, and on new methods to control the insects that carry the bacteria. In the longerterm, technologies such as genomics could be used to develop new citrus strains that are resistant to both the bacteria and the insect.
