Neither pest management nor resistance management can occur with
only an understanding of pest biology. For years, entomologists
have understood, with their use of economic thresholds, that at
least a minimal use of economics was necessary for proper
integrated pest management. IRM is even more complicated and
dependent on understanding and using socioeconomic factors. The new
edition of "Insect Resistance Management" addresses these issues
and much more.
Many new ideas, facts and case studies have been developed since
the previous edition of "Insect Resistance Management" published.
With a new chapter focusing on Resistance Mechanisms Related to
Plant-incorporated Toxins and heavily expanded revisions of several
existing chapters, this new volume will be an invaluable resource
for IRM researchers, practitioners, professors and advanced
students. Authors in this edition include professors at major
universities, leaders in the chemical and seed industry,
evolutionary biologists and active IRM practitioners. This revision
also contains more information about IRM outside North America, and
a modeling chapter contains a large new section on uncertainty
analysis, a subject recently emphasized by the U.S. Environmental
Protection Agency. The final chapter contains a section on
insecticidal seed treatments.
No other book has the breadth of coverage of "Insect Resistance
Management, 2e." It not only covers molecular to economic issues,
but also transgenic crops, seed treatments and other pest
management tactics such as crop rotation. Major themes continuing
from the first edition include the importance of using IRM in the
integrated pestmanagement paradigm, the need to study and account
for pest behavior, and the influence of human behavior and decision
making in IRM.
Provides insights from the history of insect resistance management
(IRM) to the latest scienceIncludes contributions from experts on
ecological aspects of IRM, molecular and population genetics,
economics, and IRM social issuesOffers biochemistry and molecular
genetics of insecticides presented with an emphasis on recent
researchEncourages scientists and stakeholders to implement and
coordinate strategies based on local social conditions"
