Pest Management and Phytosanitary Trade Barriers
This book comprises 13 chapters discussing pest management and phytosanitary trade barriers; agricultural warfare and bioterrorism using invasive species; managing risk of pest introduction; and postharvest phytosanitary disinfestation.
Quarantine Treatments For Pests Of Food Plants
This volume provides an overview of quarantine treatment for pests of food plants that involve heat, cold, irradiation, fumigants, modified atmospheres, and other techniques alone or in combination. The contributors discuss strategies for eliminating or reducing the need for post-harvest treatment by ensuring that commodities are free of all pests
Temperature Sensitivity In Insects And Application In Integrated Pest Management
This book focuses on an array of integrated pest management tools (IPM) that exploit extreme temperatures, examining the biological basis for using temperature extremes in controlling insects and presenting practical IPM techniques that rely on temperature.
Invasive Arthropods in Agriculture
This book concentrates on invasive arthropods damaging to agriculture, although relevant examples and discussions with other organisms and situations are included. Some socio-political facets are considered in overviews of plant health protection programs, including the origins of regulatory plant health in the United States, environmental and economic costs of alien arthropods, and international standards and avenues for sharing information about pests. Risk assessment is a vital scientific component of efforts to thwart the negative effects of invasive species, and some chapters deal with pathways of introduction, predicting the invasive potential of arthropods, and forecasting the likely geographic distribution of exotic insects. New eradication, control and quarantine treatment methods have been developed for use in programs against invasive species, and these are addressed in a series of chapters. Biological control has been at the nexus of the invasive species debate because the benefits sought after through the deliberate introduction of beneficial organisms may have unintended and undesirable negative effects. Accordingly, chapters are devoted to these topics.
Modified and Controlled Atmospheres for the Storage, Transportation, and Packaging of Horticultural Commodities
Modified atmosphere (MA) and controlled atmosphere (CA) technologies have great potential in a wide range of applications. The increasingly global nature of food production and the increased emphasis on reducing chemical preservatives and pesticides have put the spotlight on these centuries-old technologies. Yet until now, there have been very few
Integrated Pest Management
This textbook presents theory and concepts in integrated pest management, complemented by two award-winning websites covering more practical aspects.
Fruit Fly Pests
A book of national and international importance, Fruit Fly Pests is an exhaustive compendium of information (with data provided by more than 100 contributors) that will appeal to a wide variety of readers. With huge losses experienced annually from fruit fly devastation, information on these high-profile insects is important to commercial fruit and vegetable growers, marketing exporters, government regulatory agencies, and the scientific community. Fruit flies impose a considerable resource tax, and the ones who suffer range from shippers to end users. The demand for world-wide plant protection requires up-to-date research information. This book meets that need. This book contains the proceedings from the most recent International Symposium on Fruit Flies of Economic Importance. Here you will find the major presentations given at the symposium, with an added feature - overviews from experts on topics not covered directly by participants in the symposium, filling in gaps in the current literature. The resulting publication is the most up-to-date and readable text to be found anywhere on the subject of tephritids.
