This book aims to provide an overview of insect pest management for undergraduate and postgraduate students and researchers. Emphasis is placed on the underlying principles and experimental approaches to the science that underpins the development of working integrated pest management systems. Case studies and examples from a range of entomological disciplines, veterinary, medical, agricultural, forestry and postharvest systems, are used. Chapters are included on the following topics: an introduction to pest management; sampling, monitoring and forecasting; yield loss; insecticides; host plant resistance; biological control; cultural and interference methods; legislation, codes of conduct and conventions; programme design, management and implementation; and driving forces and future prospects for IPM.
Includes bibliographical references (pages 342-398) and index.
