Biological Control in IPM Systems in Africa
Author: P. NeuenschwanderPublisher: CABI
ISBN: 1845933389
Category : Technology & Engineering
Languages : en
Pages : 438
Book Description
Annotation. Biological control has made a major contribution to integrated pest management (IPM) in Africa, but its documentation has been scattered and often under-reported. This book provides a review of the most important studies, including not only successes, but also on-going challenges. The focus is on arthropod pests and weeds, but diseases are also covered where significant. In 24 chapters, case studies and promising research results are presented that cover biocontrol by naturally occurring agents, by exotic agents or by seasonal manipulation. This book provides a valuable resource for scientists worldwide. It is particularly useful for pest control professionals working in Africa.

Book Description
Matthews (pest management, U. of London) give a sound (though partial) update of Pearson's The Insect pests of cotton in tropical Arica. Chemical control remains the best means, but misuse is common. This work, therefore, focuses on the principles of selection, the timing and method of application. Annotation copyrighted by Book News, Inc., Portland, OR

Book Description
Seminar paper from the year 2023 in the subject Biology - Botany, grade: A, , language: English, abstract: The life cycle of Helicoverpa armigera, commonly known as the cotton bollworm, is a significant concern for the cotton industry in Australia. This paper explores the various stages of the bollworm's life cycle, including egg deposition, larval feeding, pupation, and adult emergence. The impacts of Helicoverpa armigera on the cotton industry are examined, highlighting the substantial economic losses incurred due to yield reduction and increased pesticide use. The paper further discusses effective management strategies, such as integrated pest management techniques, genetically modified cotton varieties, and targeted pesticide application. Implementing a comprehensive approach to control Helicoverpa armigera can help mitigate its detrimental effects on the cotton industry in Australia.
