Book Integrated Pest Management for Citrus

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.

Book Biology Control in Agriculture IPM System

Download or read book Biology Control in Agriculture IPM System written by Marjorie Hoy and published by Elsevier. This book was released on 2012-12-02 with total page 607 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Biological Control in Agricultural IPM Systems covers the proceedings of the 1984 symposium on Biological Control in Agricultural IPM Systems, held in the Citrus Research and Education Center of the University of Florida at Lake Alfred. The symposium summarizes the status and practical use of biological control in agricultural integrated pest management (IPM) systems in the United States. The book is organized into seven parts encompassing 31 chapters that cover the biological control of arthropods, weeds, plant pathogens, and nematodes. After briefly discussing the status and issues of biological control in IPM, the book deals with the basic principles of IPM programs and their related costs, risks, and benefits in biological control. The text also describes the compatibility of plant resistance with biological control of arthropods and the chemical mediated host or prey selection behaviors of entomophagous insects attacking herbivorous insect pests. It explains the development of microbial insecticides; the genetic improvement of insect pathogens; the use of entomogenous nematodes in cryptic and soil habitats; and the techniques for integrating the influences of natural enemies into models of crop/pest systems. The fourth part of the book focuses on the biological control of weeds. The following part considers the general concepts relating to the unique characteristics of plant diseases affecting aerial plant parts. This part also examines the biological control of soil plant pathogens in IPM systems and the use of soilborne viruses, bacteriocins, and hypovirulent strains of fungi as biological control agents. The concluding parts describe the biological control of nematodes and the status and limits to biological control in selected commodity IPM systems, such as citrus, grapes, alfalfa, cotton, and soybean. Entomologists, plant pathologists, weed scientists, nematologists, toxicologists, and economists will find this book invaluable.

Book Introduction to Integrated Pest Management

Download or read book Introduction to Integrated Pest Management written by M.L. Flint and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 247 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Integrated control of pests was practiced early in this century, well before anyone thought to call it "integrated control" or, still later, "integrated pest management" (IPM), which is the subject of this book by Mary Louise Flint and the late Robert van den Bosch. USDA entomologists W. D. Hunter and B. R. Coad recommended the same principles in 1923, for example, for the control of boll weevil on cotton in the United States. In that program, selected pest-tolerant varieties of cotton and residue destruction were the primary means of control, with insecticides consid ered supplementary and to be used only when a measured incidence of weevil damage occurred. Likewise, plant pathologists had also developed disease management programs incorporating varietal selection and cul tural procedures, along with minimal use of the early fungicides, such as Bordeaux mixture. These and other methods were practiced well before modern chemical control technology had developed. Use of chemical pesticides expanded greatly in this century, at first slowly and then, following the launching of DDT as a broadly successful insecticide, with rapidly increasing momentum. In 1979, the President's Council on Environmental Quality reported that production of synthetic organic pesticides had increased from less than half a million pounds in 1951 to about 1.4 billion pounds-or about 3000 times as much-in 1977.
