Aphids are among the major global pest groups, causing serious
economic damage to many food and commodity crops in most parts of
the world. This revision and update of the well-received first
edition published ten years ago reflects the expansion of research
in genomics, endosymbionts and semiochemicals, as well as the shift
from control of aphids with insecticides to a more integrated
approach imposed by increasing resistance in the aphids and
government restrictions on pesticides. The book remains a
comprehensive and up-to-date reference work on the biology of
aphids, the various methods of controlling them and the progress of
integrated pest management as illustrated by ten case histories.
Helmut van Emden is Emeritus Professor of Horticulture at the
University of Reading, UK. He has researched on aphids for over 50
years and has wide international experience, including in the
tropics. Richard Harrington retired in 2015 as Head of the
Rothamsted Insect Survey, with which he worked for 36 years on
aphid monitoring and forecasting. He led the EU project "EXAMINE"
(Exploitation of Aphid Monitoring In Europe) which brought together
colleagues involved in aphid monitoring throughout Europe and
beyond.
