Book Description
Natural enemies are valuable components of agroecosystems as they provide biological control services to help regulate pest populations. Promoting biocontrol services can improve sustainability by decreasing pesticide usage, which is a major challenge for the blueberry industry in the southeastern United States. We conducted this study across the most productive blueberry producing counties in Georgia, USA during the growing seasons of 2016 and 2017. Blueberry orchard sites were selected to compare multiple factors including management practice, local vegetation, and landscape diversity. Natural enemies were found to be more abundant in the surrounding landscapes and vegetation between crop rows supported higher natural enemy populations. Our results suggest implementing ecologically based management practices in order to sustain diverse natural enemy communities and potentially limit pest populations, including spotted wing drosophila (Drosophila suzukii).

Entomopathogenic Bacteria: from Laboratory to Field Application

Book Description
Entomopathogenic bacteria (Bacillus thuringiensis and B. sphaericus) are increasingly used as biopesticides to control larval insect populations which are either agricultural or forestry pests and to reduce those which as adults are vectors of severe human diseases. This new book, the first since 1993 to address all aspects of entomopathogenic bacteria, provides undergraduate and graduate students as well as research scientists with a complete, modern view of this important group of bacteria. The authors, chosen for their sustained contributions to the field, cover both fundamental and applied research in this area. The main topics include bacterial ecology and taxonomy, toxin diversity, activity and mode of action, regulation and environment of the genes, safety and ecotoxicology, production and field application of the bacteria, and outbreaks of resistant populations. The book concludes with the most recent data obtained on transgenic biotechnology and addresses environmental impact issues.
