This book was released on 2013-11-11 with total page 266 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Pest Management Programs for Deciduous Tree Fruits and Nuts attempts to present the current status of pest management programs in orchard ecosystems. The book is a collection of papers from a symposium convened on the subject for the 1977 National Meeting of the Entomological Society of America and invitational papers on commodities not covered during the symposium. In recent years, books have appeared on "integrated pest management (IPM)"; however, most of these have concentrated on field crop IPM with an occasional chapter on fruits. No publication presently exists which brings together information on the pest management programs currently being conducted on the major nut crops, almonds, pecans and walnuts. Because it is the first treatment for almonds and walnuts, the authors of these chapters have attempted not only to present the current IPM technology but the historical data which led to the contemporary programs. Two chapters appear on pecan IPM. The first concentrates on the development of a management program for the pecan weevil, the key arthropod pest of pecans, while the second discusses the implementation of pilot pecan IPM programs in two southeastern states. The latter chapter illustrates that even with a limited data bank, the pesticide load in pecan orchards can be reduced by the adoption of the IPM approach to pest control.

Download or read book Encouraging Natural Defenses in Pecan Orchards written by Joe Williamson and published by LAP Lambert Academic Publishing. This book was released on 2011-03 with total page 76 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In order to increase sustainability in agriculture while maintaining or increasing production, we need to change how we think about growing crops. With perennial, high-value crops such as pecan, we can modify growing practices to capitalize on services offered by nature, without complicating cultural practices or decreasing overall yields. The first chapter gives a comparison of natural pecan forests, modified groves, and orchards of improved pecan varieties, as well as highlights natural defenses offered by pecan trees in all three settings. The following two chapters document a study attempting to maximize these natural defenses in pecan orchards- encouraging biological control of pecan insect pests and enhancing soil properties through the diversification of understory plants. This should be useful for those interested in agroecology, especially those interested in the design of pecan and other horticultural crops.

Download or read book Biological Control Measures of Success written by G. Gurr and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 433 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As well as examining successful biological control programmes this book analyses why the majority of attempts fail. Off-target and other negative effects of biological control are also dealt with. Chapters contributed by leading international researchers and practitioners in all areas of biological control afford the book a breadth of coverage and depth of analysis not possible with a single author volume. Combined with the use of other experts to review chapters and editorial oversight to ensure thematic integrity of the volume, this book provides the most authoritative analysis of biological control published. Key aspects addressed include how success may be measured, how successful biological control has been to date and how may it be made more successful in the future. With extensive use of contemporary examples, photographs, figures and tables this book will be invaluable to advanced undergraduate and postgraduate students as well as being a `must' for all involved in making biological control successful.
Download or read book Comparison of the Efficacies of Organic and Standard Insect Control Methods for Pecan Orchards written by Tzu-Chin Liu and published by . This book was released on 2016 with total page 224 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In contrast to conventional pecan management, there are fewer options for pest management in organic pecan, Carya illinoinensis (Wangenheim) K. Koch, due to the stricter regulations on the compounds that can be used. Thus, our study focused on seeking insect control methods for organic pecan. The applications of some OMRI (Organic Materials Review Institute) and non-OMRI approved biopesticides were investigated for pecan aphid complex suppression and fall webworm (Hyphantria cunea (Drury)) control. The effects of cool-season and warm-season intercrop planting on the enhancement of pecan aphid complex biological control were evaluated in the pecan orchard. The trail blocking and foraging disruption experiments of the secondary predators, Argentine ant (Linepithema humile (Mayr)) and red imported fire ant (Solenopsis invicta (Buren)) were conducted. The results of our study could provide organic growers with some viable insect control methods, and also offer some ideas for future organic pecan research.
