Download or read book Aphids as Crop Pests 2nd Edition written by Helmut F van Emden and published by CABI. This book was released on 2017-08-23 with total page 716 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Aphids are among the major global pest groups, causing serious economic damage to many food and commodity crops in most parts of the world. This revision and update of the well-received first edition published ten years ago reflects the expansion of research in genomics, endosymbionts and semiochemicals, as well as the shift from control of aphids with insecticides to a more integrated approach imposed by increasing resistance in the aphids and government restrictions on pesticides. The book remains a comprehensive and up-to-date reference work on the biology of aphids, the various methods of controlling them and the progress of integrated pest management as illustrated by ten case histories.
Download or read book Aphids on the World s Herbaceous Plants and Shrubs 2 Volume Set written by R. L. Blackman and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2008-04-15 with total page 1460 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Aphids are well-known as pests of agriculture, horticulture and forestry, but they are also one of the most biologically interesting groups of plant-feeding insects, and thus have attracted the attention of biologists in many research fields such as ecology, biodiversity, physiology, behaviour and genetics. Following the successful format of previous books on the world's aphids by the same authors, these two volumes provide a comprehensive species-by-species account of the aphids on the world's herbaceous plants and shrubs. They can be used not only as an identification guide and information source for entomologists and taxonomists throughout the world, but also as a unique database for studies of biodiversity and insect-plant relationships. In all, 3120 aphid species in 340 genera are covered, feeding on 2150 genera of host plants. Volume 1 features comprehensive host lists and keys to the aphids colonizing each plant genus. This information is supplemented in Volume 2 by a systematic account of all the aphid species, which provides information on their appearance in life, host range, geographical distribution and life cycles. There are 357 original line drawings, 252 photographs of slide-mounted specimens and 1000 references. Aphids on the World's Herbaceous Plants and Shrubs is the culmination of many years of work by two leading specialists and provides an essential research tool and standard reference work for entomologists in universities and research institutes throughout the world.
Download or read book Electrophoretic Studies on Agricultural Pests written by Hugh D. Loxdale and published by . This book was released on 1989 with total page 520 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Here is a new single-volume guide that provides complete discussion of the use of electrophoresis in studies of agricultural pests. It includes contributions from many noted experts in this field, giving the latest information on the study of populations, structure and familial relationships, migration and gene flow, taxonomy, evolution, biotype discrimination and host adaption, resistance to pesticides, the use of electrophoresis to assess parasitism of insects by Hymenopterous parasitoids in biological control programs, and the diets of insect predators. This unique reference covers a wide range of pest organisms from insects, slugs and birds to mammals, and offers insights into such techniques as conventional slab electrophoresis of proteins and enzymes, isoelectric focusing, 2-D electrophoresis, and electrophoresis of DNA, including DNA fingerprinting techniques.
