This important book provides a practical guide to the principles
and practice of developing an integrated pest management (IPM)
programme. Integrated Pest Management answers the question `how do
you devise, develop and implement a practical IPM system which will
fully meet the real needs of farmers?'. The term `pest' in this
book is used in its broadest sense and includes insects, pathogens,
weeds, nematodes, etc. The book commences by outlining the basic
principles which underlie pest control (crop husbandry,
socio-economics, population ecology and population genetics) and
reviews the control mesures available and their use in IPM systems.
Subsequent chapters cover the techniques and approaches used in
defining a pest problem, programme planning and management, systems
analysis, experimental paradigms and implementation of IPM systems.
The final seciton of the book contains four chapters giving
examples of IPM in different cropping systems, contributed by
invited specialists and outlining four different perspectives.
Integrated Pest Management will be of great use to agricultural and
plant scientists, entomologists, aracologists and nematologists and
all those studying crop protection, particularly at MSc level and
above. It will be particularly useful for, and should find a place
on the shelves of all personnel within the agrochemical industry,
universities and research establishments working in this subject
area and as a reference in libraries for students and professionals
alike.
