This eye-opening book focuses on the development of techniques to
mass-produce reduviid predators and important generalist predators,
an endeavor that won't prove sufficient if the cost of
commercialization is prohibitive. Advancing mass production to the
level of economic feasibility is critical, so that these new
technologies can compete in the open market. This book commences
with a review of the diversity of reduviid predators in
agro-ecosystems world-wide, followed by chapters on their feeding
behavior, biology, gut microbiota, their enzyme profile, body
protein and genomics, and DNA and field evaluation reports. The
field evaluation of reduviids, a worldwide undertaking, is
addressed in the last chapter. Each chapter includes a separate
conclusion and future recommendations. Detailed information is also
included on ingredients and artificial diet preparation, storage
and the impact on predators. The artificial rearing of reduviid
predator for crop pest management is an essential reference and
teaching tool for teachers, researchers and extension workers in
developed and developing countries alike, allowing them to produce
reduviid predators and important natural enemies in biocontrol and
bio-intensive integrated pest management programs. The book offers
an excellent resource for all those who are working on beneficial
arthropod mass production. It is also an essential reference guide
for agricultural and biological sciences scientists, entomologists,
crop protection specialists, extension workers, and consultants.
