Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Destiné aux étudiants, enseignants et praticiens phytosanitaires, cet ouvrage présente, de façon simple et didactique, l'état des connaissances dans le domaine de la protection des cultures contre les invertébrés. Les fondements et les principales méthodes de lutte sont ici décrits ainsi que les dangers et les échecs d'une lutte toute chimique ou toute biologique ; le concept de protection intégrée prend alors toute son importance dans la mesure où il offre dès maintenant aux décideurs et praticiens des solutions concrètes aux problèmes posés par une gestion raisonnée des systèmes de production.
Download or read book Agroecological Crop Protection written by Jean-Philippe Deguine and published by Springer. This book was released on 2017-12-22 with total page 276 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is devoted to Agroecological Crop Protection, which is the declension of the principles of agroecology to crop protection. It presents the concepts of this innovative approach, case studies and lessons and generic keys for agroecological transition. The book is intended for a wide audience, including scientists, experimenters, teachers, farmers, students. It represents a new tool, proposing concrete keys of action on the basis of feedbacks validated scientifically. Beyond the examples presented, it is therefore of general scope and proposes recommendations for all temperate and tropical cropping systems. It contributes to the training and teaching modules in this field and it is an updated information support for professionals and a teaching aid for students (agronomy, crop protection, biodiversity management, agroecology).

This book was released on 2013-04-17 with total page 412 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Jointly published with INRA, Paris. What will people eat in the future and how can the food requirements in terms of quantity and quality be met? This EU-based study elucidates the need for a productivity level that will make agriculture competitive on the market and yet is reconciled with the need to manage natural resources and lands wisely. In this book the necessary changes for European agriculture from the biological, medical, economic and political perspective are discussed.
Download or read book Physical Control Methods in Plant Protection written by Charles Vincent and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2013-06-29 with total page 322 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Jointly published with INRA, Paris. Pesticide resistance is becoming more frequent and widespread with more than 500 insect species known to have become resistant to synthetic insecticides. On the other hand, consumers increasingly demand agricultural products without any pesticide residues. This book, for the first time, shows the alternative: solely physical methods for plant protection by means of thermal, electromagnetic, mechanical and vacuum processes. A glossary rounds up this extremely valuable book.
Download or read book Plant Stress Biology written by Arindam Kuila and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 2020-12-09 with total page 323 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This unique book covers the molecular aspects of plant stress and the various industrial applications. Chapters cover many important topics in the biology of plant stress, including morphological and physiological changes of plants due to accumulation of pollutants; the types of stress for enhanced biofuel production from plant biomass; plant adaptation due to different types of environmental stresses; potential applications of microRNAs to improve abiotic stress tolerance in plants; plant resistance to viruses and the molecular aspects; photosynthesis under stress conditions; plant responses to weeds, pests, pathogens, and agrichemical stress conditions; and plant responses under the stress of drought. Key features: • Describes the different types of plant stress • Details the current and possible applications of plant stress biology • Presents several case studies that include applications of plant stress • Explores plant stress biology for applications in biofuel science Plant Stress Biology: Progress and Prospects of Genetic Engineering will be useful for researchers in diverse fields as well as for plant biologists, environmental biologists, faculty, and students. The book will also be helpful for further advancement of research in the area of plant stress biology.

Download or read book Sustainable Agriculture written by Eric Lichtfouse and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2009-11-11 with total page 897 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Sustainability rests on the principle that we must meet the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs. Starving people in poor nations, obesity in rich nations, increasing food prices, on-going climate changes, increasing fuel and transportation costs, flaws of the global market, worldwide pesticide pollution, pest adaptation and resistance, loss of soil fertility and organic carbon, soil erosion, decreasing biodiversity, desertification, and so on. Despite unprecedented advances in sciences allowing to visit planets and disclose subatomic particles, serious terrestrial issues about food show clearly that conventional agriculture is not suited any longer to feed humans and to preserve ecosystems. Sustainable agriculture is an alternative for solving fundamental and applied issues related to food production in an ecological way. While conventional agriculture is driven almost solely by productivity and profit, sustainable agriculture integrates biological, chemical, physical, ecological, economic and social sciences in a comprehensive way to develop new farming practices that are safe and do not degrade our environment. In that respect, sustainable agriculture is not a classical and narrow science. Instead of solving problems using the classical painkiller approach that treats only negative impacts, sustainable agriculture treats problem sources. As most actual society issues are now intertwined, global, and fast-developing, sustainable agriculture will bring solutions to build a safer world. This book gathers review articles that analyze current agricultural issues and knowledge, then propose alternative solutions. It will therefore help all scientists, decision-makers, professors, farmers and politicians who wish to build a safe agriculture, energy and food system for future generations.

Download or read book Tropical Grassy Weeds written by F. W. G. Baker and published by Cab Publishing. This book was released on 1991 with total page 232 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Weeds are the cause of great losses to crop production in the tropics and grassy weeds present a particular problem because of their similarity to cereal crop plants. It is therefore difficult to devise control methods and management practices appropriate for such weeds. This book reviews our current knowledge of this subject and is the outcome of a workshop on integrated control of grassy weeds in tropical subsistence farming systems, held in Nairobi in February 1990. The workshop was organised by CASAFA (Commission on the Application of Science to Agriculture, Forestry and Aquaculture) of the International Council of Scientific Unions. The contents include a general review of grassy weeds, their physiology in tropical agriculture, management by biological and chemical control, integrated weed management, control in tropical cereals, in tropical grasslands and forage crops, in mixed crops and in upland rice, and overviews of grassy weeds in Kenya, the Phillipines and Australia.
