Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An integrated pest management model is developed for the northern corn rootworm, Diabrotica longicornis, and the western corn rootworm, Diabrotica virgifera, insect pest of corn. Uncertainty and risk aversion are incorporated into an economic threshold model. Two control actions, soil insecticide and crop rotation, are included. The effect of crop insurance and improved scouting accuracy on insecticide use is evaluated. The rootworms population is considered to be a common property resource with an exhaustible stoock of susceptibility to insecticide. A second objective of the study is to evaluation the potential benefits of a regional approach to corn rootworms control, internalizing the externalities of insecticide resistance and pest movement among farms. A genetic model is used as the basis for predicting the influence of insecticides use rate on resistance buildup. The regional approach is compared with an individual farm approach in an intertemporal aoptimization model solved by nonlinear programming. The empirial results indicate that increased risk aversion reduces the economic threshold for insecticide application, Increased risk aversion also reduces the economic threshold for crop rotation when corn has a large comparative advantage over soybeans. The effects of risk aversion on insecticide use is uncertain. Increased risk aversion may increase "insurance" insecticide application on lightly infested fields, but my also lead to diversification to another crop on heavily (...).

Book excerpt: The book addresses and documents farmers' risks in developing and emerging economies. It draws lessons from experimental economics on measuring risk preferences, attitudes, gender differences in managing risks, and risk management strategies in countries across Africa and Asia. It argues policy makers, especially in emerging economies, need a better understanding of farmers' attitudes toward risk and choices of risk management strategies when designing policies to support production agriculture. The book includes chapters on three themes: understanding risk attitudes and preferences; using experimental economics to measure risk, preferences, and risk management strategies; and understanding climate change, risk, and risk management. The book critically examines the currently held beliefs about risk preference, attitudes, and empirical estimation of risk management strategies, emphasizing developing and emerging economies (DEE). This book is ideal for students and researchers in universities and research organizations who conduct applied research on public policy, community development, and rural development, and will also be of interest to policy-makers in those fields.

This book was released on 1996-03-21 with total page 160 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Widespread use of broad-spectrum chemical pesticides has revolutionized pest management. But there is growing concern about environmental contamination and human health risksâ€"and continuing frustration over the ability of pests to develop resistance to pesticides. In Ecologically Based Pest Management, an expert committee advocates the sweeping adoption of ecologically based pest management (EBPM) that promotes both agricultural productivity and a balanced ecosystem. This volume offers a vision and strategies for creating a solid, comprehensive knowledge base to support a pest management system that incorporates ecosystem processes supplemented by a continuum of inputsâ€"biological organisms, products, cultivars, and cultural controls. The result will be safe, profitable, and durable pest management strategies. The book evaluates the feasibility of EBPM and examines how best to move beyond optimal examples into the mainstream of agriculture. The committee stresses the need for information, identifies research priorities in the biological as well as socioeconomic realm, and suggests institutional structures for a multidisciplinary research effort. Ecologically Based Pest Management addresses risk assessment, risk management, and public oversight of EBPM. The volume also overviews the history of pest managementâ€"from the use of sulfur compounds in 1000 B.C. to the emergence of transgenic technology. Ecologically Based Pest Management will be vitally important to the agrichemical industry; policymakers, regulators, and scientists in agriculture and forestry; biologists, researchers, and environmental advocates; and interested growers.
