Book Description
Their natural enemies largely determine the population size and dynamic behavior of many plant-eating insects. Any reduction in enemy number can result in an insect outbreak. Applied biological control is thus one strategy for restoring functional biodiversity in many agroecosystems. Predators and Parasitoids addresses the role of natural enemies i

Fruit Fly Pests
Author: Bruce A. McPheronPublisher: CRC Press
ISBN: 1000717283
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 609
Book Description
A book of national and international importance, Fruit Fly Pests is an exhaustive compendium of information (with data provided by more than 100 contributors) that will appeal to a wide variety of readers. With huge losses experienced annually from fruit fly devastation, information on these high-profile insects is important to commercial fruit and vegetable growers, marketing exporters, government regulatory agencies, and the scientific community. Fruit flies impose a considerable resource tax, and the ones who suffer range from shippers to end users. The demand for world-wide plant protection requires up-to-date research information. This book meets that need. This book contains the proceedings from the most recent International Symposium on Fruit Flies of Economic Importance. Here you will find the major presentations given at the symposium, with an added feature - overviews from experts on topics not covered directly by participants in the symposium, filling in gaps in the current literature. The resulting publication is the most up-to-date and readable text to be found anywhere on the subject of tephritids.
Guidance for Packing, Shipping, Holding and Release of Sterile Flies in Area-wide Fruit Fly Control Programmes

Book Description
There has been little harmonisation of the processes involved in the handling and release of sterile insects after production in mass rearing facilities. There are no standard guidelines available to transfer this technology to FAO or IAEA member countries that want to embark on sterile insect technique (SIT) activities. There is also increased interest by the private sector in investing in sterile insect production and/or other SIT activities, and these harmonized guidelines on the post-production phase will facilitate SIT application and foster the commercialization of the SIT.This guideline resulted from two FAO/IAEA consultants' meetings with representatives of relevant SIT programmes, the first held in Sarasota, Florida, United States of America (April 2004) and the second in Vienna, Austria (August 2005). It has identified a number of gaps in knowledge as well as procedures that are often based on conventional wisdom but which need scientific verification or optimization.

Pages : 0
Book Description
This book comprises issues at the cutting edge of fruit fly management in the Americas, covering topics that are focal points of current activity and likely long-term importance to the progress of the field. The book is an invaluable source of ideas and inspiration for entomologists at all levels from graduate students to more-established researchers and professionals. Fruit flies (Diptera, Tephritidae) is the most important pests of fruit production worldwide. The purpose of this book is to integrate the experiences of leading scientists in the management of fruit flies in the Americas. In this work, species of fruit flies of economic importance are considered in the genera Anastrepha, Rhagoletis, Bactrocera , and Ceratitis. This book will address fruit flies monitoring, biological control, chemical control, cultural control, sterile insect technique (SIT), Integrated Pest Management (IPM), and other control methods. The book provides invaluable resource material to scientists, professionals and students.
