Aphids as Crop Pests (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9781780647098)

Aphids are among the world's major 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 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.
