Aphids on the World's Crops - An Identification & Information Guide 2e (Hardcover, 2nd Edition)

Extensively revised and fully updated, Aphids on the World’s Crops is the only publication to provide non-specialist workers wherever they are in the world with the means both to identify to species level, and to access the literature on, one of the main groups of agriculturally important insects. This new edition incorporates:

• The latest information on the biology and distribution of both major and minor aphid pest species covering 445 species in 130 genera.
• 40 additional crops, bringing the total to almost 300.
• More aphid species in the keys.
• Approximately 500 new references.

An introductory section, featuring those aspects of the biology of aphids most relevant to their taxonomy and identification, is followed by a crop-oriented illustrated identification guide. The third section comprises a comprehensive, systematic account of the genera and species of aphids inhabiting crop plants, including for each species its appearance in life, host plants, virus-transmitting ability, present geographical distribution and salient features of biology, with selected references. The book also includes a summary of the techniques available for studying aphids, a list of further information sources and a photographic guide to the 150 most economically important species. Written by leading authorities in this field, Aphids on the World’s Crops is an essential reference tool for economic, applied and agricultural entomologists at universities, research institutes and advisory centres throughout the world.
