Make the right decisions when it comes to pest control in
agriculture
"Bacillus thuringiensis" A Cornerstone of Modern Agriculture
explores the impact that one of the most prominent biologically
based pesticides has had on pest control technology--and the issues
that surround its use. The book examines the development, use, and
management of technologies derived from "Bacillus thuringiensis"
("Bt"), addressing the health, economic, environmental, and social
concerns generated by the deployment of genetically engineered
crops. Authors representing a diverse cross section of the
international scientific community contribute review articles and
research findings that address the use of "Bt" in microbial
formulations and transgenic crops, technological advances in the
genetic engineering of plants, advances in methodologies, and
improved agricultural practices and productivity through the use of
"Bt" cotton.
"Bacillus thuringiensis" A Cornerstone of Modern Agriculture
examines the vital issues surrounding this Gram-positive bacterium.
Contributors from academia, government, and industry address the
safety of "Bt" for human consumption, its effects on non-target
organisms, the role of microbial "Bt" products in crop production
in the United States, and the utility and management of transgenic
plants. The book also explores: engineering "Bt" transgenic rice
for insect pest protection the "Bt" potato in developing countries
Bt expression in sugarcane and cauliflower a comparative analysis
of "Bt" cotton in Argentina the ecological impact, gene expression,
and current resistance management requirements of "Bt" cotton in
the United States and much more "Bacillus thuringiensis" A
Cornerstone of Modern Agriculture is an essential resource for
advanced students and technical specialists working in agriculture,
biotechnology, entomology, pest management, and crop sciences.
Stakeholders will also find it invaluable in regulatory decision
making about genetically engineered crops, pesticide use, and crop
protection.
