Sustainable Pest Management in Date Palm: Current Status and Emerging Challenges
Date palm, Phoenix dactylifera L. (Arecales: Arecaceae), is an important palm species cultivated in the arid regions of the world since pre-historic times and traditionally associated with the life and culture of the people in the Middle-East and North Africa which are the pre-dominant date palm growing regions worldwide. The Food and Agriculture Organization of the UN estimates that there are over 100 million date palms with an annual production of over 7.5 million tonnes A recent report on the arthropod fauna of date palm, enlists 112 species of insects and mites associated with date palm worldwide including 22 species attacking stored dates. Enhanced monoculture of date palm in several da...
Potential Invasive Pests of Agricultural Crops
Invasive arthropods cause significant damage in agricultural crops and natural environments across the globe. Potentially threatened regions need to be prepared to prevent new pests from becoming established. Therefore, information on pest identity, host range, geographical distribution, biology, tools for detection and identification are all essential to researchers and regulatory personnel. This book focuses on the most recent invasive pests of agricultural crops in temperate subtropical and tropical areas and on potential invaders, discussing their spread, biology and control.
Invasive Species
Invasive alien species (IAS) are a menace to agricultural crops and ornamental plants worldwide due to climate change and global warming. They vector serious human and animal diseases and endanger biological diversity through competition and niche displacement. This book addresses issues pertaining to introduction pathways of invasive species, their bionomics, dispersal, risk assessment, economic impact, and possible management and control options. It provides comprehensive information on global invasion, economic impact, and management options for the red palm weevil, spotted wing Drosophila, and the South American tomato pinworm. Additionally, it examines the economic utilization of invasive plant species from the families Asteraceae and Cactaceae as means of management. University teachers and researchers in the fields of entomology, ecology, and environment, as well as students, will find this book useful.
Biological Control of Pest and Vector Insects
This book provides recent contributions of current strategies to control insect pests written by experts in their respective fields. Topics include semiochemicals based insect management techniques, assessment of lethal dose/concentrations, strategies for efficient biological control practices, bioinsecticidal formulations and mechanisms of action involving RNAi technology, light-trap collection of insects, the use of sex pheromonal components and attractants for pest insect capture, measures to increase plant resistance in forest plantations, the use of various baculoviruses as biopesticides, and effect of a pathogenic bacterium against an endangered butterfly species. There are several other chapters that focus on insect vectors, including biting midges as livestock vectors in Tunisia, mosquitoes as vectors in Brazil, human disease vectors in Tanzania, pathogenic livestock and human vectors in Africa, insect vectors of Chagas disease, and transgenic and paratransgenic biotechnologies against dipteran pests and vectors. This book targets general biologists, entomologists, ecologists, zoologists, virologists, and epidemiologists, including both teachers and students.
Red Palm Weevil: Guidelines on management practices
Since gaining a foothold on date palm in the Near East during the mid-1980s, the red palm weevil (RPW) Rhynchophorus ferrugineus Olivier has spread rapidly over the last three decades and is now a major pest of palms in a diverse range of agroecosystems worldwide. In most of the countries affected, failure to manage RPW can be attributed to a lack of awareness about this pest and to lack of systematic and coordinated control actions or management strategies that involve all stakeholders. These guidelines have been developed by FAO to support all those involved in the day-to-day management of RPW in the field (including farmers and pest-management professionals), researchers, and the decision...
الخطوط التوجيهية حول ممارسات إدارة سوسة النخيل الحمراء
تعد سوسة النخيل الحمراء(RPW) Rhynchophorus ferrugineus Olivier من الافات الرئيسية التي تصيب أشجار النخيل في مجموعة متنوعة من النظم الإيكولوجية الزراعية في جميع أنحاء العالم. بعد اكتساب موطئ قدم لها على نخيل التمر في الشرق الأدنى خلال منتصف الثمانينيات، انتشرت بسرعة خلال العقود الثلاثة الماضية. تشير التقارير الأخيرة حول غزو سوسة النخيل الحمراء إلى أن الآفة تنتشر في منطقة القوقاز، حيث تم اكتشافها في ...
دليل مدارس المزارعين الحقلية لإدارة سوسة النخيل الحمراء في اقليم الشرق الأدنى وشمال افريقيا
تم إعداد هذا الدليل لمساعدة مشرفي ومنسقي مدارس المزارعين الحقلية في إنشاء مدارس المزارعين الحقلية والجوانب المتعلقة بإدارة المدارس، بدءًا من التخطيط وإعداد المناهج وتنفيذها وتسهيلها وإنشاء الأنشطة المرتبطة بالمتابعة والتقييم. وتم في هذا الدليل تكييف نهج مدارس المزارعين الحقلية من حيث تصميم المناهج وإدارة مدارس المزارعين ، والتدريب الميداني وتدريب الميسرين بما يتناسب مع نظام زراعة نخيل التمر من أجل رفع كفاءة وتأهيل مزارعي نخيل التمر من خلال تطبيق تشاركي متقدم الإرشادية في مجال الإدارة المتكاملة لآفة سوسة النخيل الحمراء.
Biopesticides
Resistance to conventional pesticides has been growing rapidly among all pests. Furthermore, there is increased public concern about the safety of conventional pesticides, and increased governmental restrictions have resulted in the need to identify new compounds that are safe and effective in controlling pests that are of concern to agriculture as well as to public and animal health. Biopesticides may aid in the control of such pests with fewer deleterious effects to the environment, people and animals. The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) defines biopesticides as "pesticides derived from such natural materials as animals, plants, bacteria, and certain minerals" (www.epa.gov). Acc...
