General concepts in integrated pest and disease management

The first volume of the Integrated Management of Plant Pests and Diseases book series presents general concepts on integrated pest and disease management, organized in three sections. Section one (modeling, management, environment) includes chapters on infection models, resurgence and replacement, plant disease epidemiology and effects of climate change in tropical environments. Followed by two reviews on IPM in post-harvest and carrot crops. The second section (emerging technologies) includes remote sensing and information technology, integrated by reviews on Bacillus thuringiensis and the role of mycorrhizae in IPM. In the third section (molecular aspects) the management of insect-borne viruses with transmission interference, some novel products for biological control and advances in molecular detection, are discussed. An actualized concentration of innovative approaches and information is given. Covers a broad range oftopics in plant and crop protection through integrated management. Provides abroader view of basic concepts required to enable the reader to analyse and act with varying conditions, environments and circumstances INDICE: From the contents Introduction. 1.
