This book was released on 1992 with total page 460 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "A four-year (1988 to 1991 inclusive) field and laboratory study was undertaken to determine and select the components that could be integrated to control the sorghum shoot fly, Atherigona soccata Rondani (Diptera: Muscidae), in Burkina Faso, West Africa. Nine approaches were investigated: (1) monitoring adult shoot flies; (2) sequential sampling based on egg and dead heart counting; (3) cultural practices (sowing dates and plant densities, intercropping sorghum-cowpea); (4) use of resistant cultivars; (5) use of natural insecticide from the neem tree Azadirachta indica A. Juss. (Meliaceae); (6) effects of intercropping sorghum-cowpea on the natural enemies of the shoot fly; (7) spider fauna in pure sorghum and intercropped sorghum-cowpea; (8) parasitism of the shoot fly by a larval parasitoid, Neotrichoporoides nyemitawus Rohwer; and (9) the biology of an egg parasitoid, Trichogrammatoidea simmondsi Nagaraja. These nine approaches were divided into four main components: (1) monitoring populations, (2) cultural practices, (3) natural and chemical pesticides, and (4) biological control that could be integrated to control the shoot fly. Among these components, monitoring populations (egg sampling), cultural practices, and use of natural pesticides could be utilised at the farmer level." --

Book excerpt: Sorghum is one of the most important cereals in the semi-arid tropics. Nearly 150 insect species have been reported to damage the crop worldwide, causing an estimated loss of over U$1000 million annually. Of these, shoot fly, stem borers, greenbug, sugarcane aphid, shoot bug, spider, mites, armysorms, midge, head bug, and head caterpillars are the major pests. Plant resistance to insects is one of the most important components of pest management in sorghum. Thus, the 18 specialist scientists who have contributed the 25 papers included in the book, that is based on a training course for researchers involved in the development of insect-resistant cultivars for integrated pest management in sustainable agriculture, describe and discuss the theoretical and practical aspects of resistance-screening techniques, mechanisms and inheritance of resistance, breeding for resistance, statistical designs, and strategies for integrated pest management. Information has also been provided about the international sorghum insect resistance testing program and the role of networks in collaborative research and technology exchange.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book reviews and synthesizes the recent advances in exploiting host plant resistance to insects, highlighting the role of molecular techniques in breeding insect resistant crops. It also provides an overview of the fascinating field of insect-plant relationships, which is fundamental to the study of host-plant resistance to insects. Further, it discusses the conventional and molecular techniques utilized/useful in breeding for resistance to insect-pests including back-cross breeding, modified population improvement methods for insect resistance, marker-assisted backcrossing to expedite the breeding process, identification and validation of new insect-resistance genes and their potential for utilization, genomics, metabolomics, transgenesis and RNAi. Lastly, it analyzes the successes, limitations and prospects for the development of insect-resistant cultivars of rice, maize, sorghum and millet, cotton, rapeseed, legumes and fruit crops, and highlights strategies for management of insect biotypes that limit the success and durability of insect-resistant cultivators in the field. Arthropod pests act as major constraints in the agro-ecosystem. It has been estimated that arthropod pests may be destroying around one-fifth of the global agricultural production/potential production every year. Further, the losses are considerably higher in the developing tropics of Asia and Africa, which are already battling severe food shortage. Integrated pest management (IPM) has emerged as the dominant paradigm for minimizing damage by the insects and non-insect pests over the last 50 years. Pest resistant cultivars represent one of the most environmentally benign, economically viable and ecologically sustainable options for utilization in IPM programs. Hundreds of insect-resistant cultivars of rice, wheat, maize, sorghum, cotton, sugarcane and other crops have been developed worldwide and are extensively grown for increasing and/or stabilizing crop productivity. The annual economic value of arthropod resistance genes developed in global agriculture has been estimated to be greater than US$ 2 billion Despite the impressive achievements and even greater potential in minimizing pest- related losses, only a handful of books have been published on the topic of host-plant resistance to insects. This book fills this wide gap in the literature on breeding insect- resistant crops. It is aimed at plant breeders, entomologists, plant biotechnologists and IPM experts, as well as those working on sustainable agriculture and food security.
