As the human impact upon the environment becomes more apparent and
severe, the need to develop agricultural techniques that cause
minimal damage to the environment has increased. This is
particularly the case in the area of pest management, where
integrated pest management (IPM) strategies have become a
fundamental component of plant protection. Focusing on insect pests
of tree fruits and combining behavioural research with crop
protection applications, this book emphasizes the importance of
environmentally sustainable approaches in an agroecosystem. Both
experimental and applied topics are discussed, including the
conceptual framework of IPM, functional and behavioural ecology of
a pest, host detection mechanisms and monitoring tool development,
as well as pest management case studies. Representing a
comprehensive discussion of tree-fruit pest management, from the
evolution, ecology and behaviour of insect pests to the
implementation of applied biorational programmes, this will be
essential reading for researchers as well as commercial growers and
extension agents.
