Book Description
Growers, commodity-group representatives, pest-control advisors, university specialists, and other technical experts from the Treasure Valley in Oregon and Idaho provide an overview of onion production. They identify pest management priorities and lay a foundation for increased use of Integrated Pest Management in onions. They identify critical production aspects of this crop, and describe the biology and life cycle of onion pests. Authors organize management practices and challenges by crop life stage and describe whole-season management practices and constraints.

Book Description
"In a proactive effort to identify pest management priorities and lay a foundation for future strategies and increased use of Integrated Pest Management in onions, growers, commodity-group representatives, pest control advisors, university specialists, and other technical experts from the Treasure Valley in Oregon and Idaho formed a work group and assembled this publication. The publication begins with an overview of onion production, followed by a discussion of critical production aspects of this crop, including the basics of IPM in onion production in this region. Each pest is described briefly, with links provided for more information on the biology and life cycle of each pest. The publication includes an analysis of management practices and challenges organized by crop life stage in an effort to assist the reader in understanding whole-season management practices and constraints. Current management practices are presented using a "Prevention, Avoidance, Monitoring, Suppression" (PAMS) framework to place practices within a simple IPM classification and to demonstrate areas where additional tools or practices may be needed."

Book Description
This report summarizes pest impact data for onions grown in the Treasure Valley, gathered through Oregon State University's Crop Pest Losses Impact Assessment program. The program facilitates the collection of real-world data on the impacts of invertebrates, pathogens, weeds and other pests to key crops in the Pacific Northwest -- data which are vital yet lacking in most agricultural industries. We demonstrate the yield and economic impacts of specific pests and management practices for the 2018 crop season. The report is for onion researchers, Extension workers, crop consultants and others who have an interest in crop losses, and in development and deployment of integrated pest management.

Book Description
This fully revised, expanded and updated edition of the successful text, Onions and Other Vegetable Alliums, relates the production and utilization of these familiar and important vegetable crops to the many aspects of plant science underpinning their production and storage technologies. Chapters cover species and crop types, plant structure, genetics and breeding, physiology of growth and development as well as pests and diseases, production agronomy, storage after harvest and the biochemistry of flavour, storage carbohydrates and colour and how this relates to nutritional and health benefits. From this wide perspective it is possible to see many examples where underlying scientific knowledge illuminates, explains and can improve agronomic practice. The reader will get an insight into how molecular methods are revolutionizing the study of taxonomy, genetics, pathology and physiology and how these methods are being applied in the breeding of improved crops.

Book Description
This book is an up-to-date and comprehensive reference covering pest management in organic farming in major crops of the world. General introductory chapters explore the management of crops to prevent pest outbreaks, plant protection tools in organic farming, and natural enemies and pest control. The remaining chapters are crop-based and discuss geographic distribution, economic importance and key pests. For each pest the fundamental aspects of its bio-ecology and the various methods of control are presented. Understanding of the scientific content is facilitated with practical advice, tables and diagrams, helping users to apply the theories and recommendations. This is an essential resource for researchers and extension workers in crop protection, integrated pest management and biocontrol, and organic farming systems.
