Full Description

Integrated pest management (IPM), is a sustainable crop protection strategy to ensure pre-harvest control of invertebrate (mainly insect) pests, whilst seeking to minimise negative environment or ecosystem impacts, and improve human health.This book represents all aspects of IPM in southern Africa, from designing projects to implementing decisions, and including research, field experience and selected case studies. This book will address themes such as basic IPM principles, cultural and physical control methods, behavioural control methods, biological control, insecticide resistance management, ecosystem services provided by insects in agro-ecosystems and biosecurity. The book is especially relevant to those working in areas of agricultural sustainability, food security, applied entomology, pest management and crop protection.
