Quelea Quelea
Africa's quelea quelea is the most destructive--and most numerous--bird pest in the world. This volume brings together available information on quelea quelea ecology and management, as well as the species' distribution, population, migration patterns, and breeding behavior. Utilizing an international team of authors, this new book also offers guidance on monitoring and marketing, and methods of control of this extraordinary animal.
New Strategies in Locust Control
In the late eighties large-scale control operations were carried out to control a major desert locust upsurge in Africa. For the first time since the banning of organochlorine pesticides these operations relied mainly on non-persistent pesticides such as organophosphates and pyrethroids. The amount of pesticides sprayed and the area covered were probably the highest in the history of locust control and raised criticism with respect to efficacy, economic viability and environmental impact. As a consequence, applied research into the problem was intensified, both at the national and the international level, with the goal of finding new and environmentally sound approaches and solutions to locust and grasshopper control. Emphasis was laid on developing new control agents and techniques.
