Insect pests remain a major threat to crop production primarily
because of their ability to inflict severe damage on crop yields,
as well as their role as key vectors of disease. Early
identification of pests is critical to the success of integrated
pest management (IPM) programmes and essential for the development
of phytosanitary/quarantine regimes to prevent the introduction of
invasive insect pests to new environments. Advances in monitoring
of native and invasive insect pests of crops reviews the wealth of
research on techniques to monitor and thus prevent threats from
both native and invasive insect pests. The book considers recent
advances in areas such as sampling, identifying and modelling pest
populations. With its considered approach, the book explores
current best practices for the detection, identification and
modelling of native and invasive insect pests of crops. The
contributors offer farmers informed advice on how to mitigate a
growing problem which has been exacerbated as a result of climate
change.
