Insect Pests of Potato
Insect Pests of Potato: Biology and Management provides a comprehensive source of up-to-date scientific information on the biology and management of insects attacking potato crops, with an international and expert cast of contributors providing its contents. This book presents a complete review of the scientific literature from the considerable research effort over the last 15 years, providing the necessary background information to the subject of studying the biology management of insect pests of potatoes, assessment of recent scientific advances, and a list of further readings. This comprehensive review will be of great benefit to a variety of scientists involved in potato research and production, as well as to those facing similar issues in other crop systems. Written by top experts in the field, this is the only publication covering the biology, ecology and management of all major potato pests Emphasizes ecological and evolutionary approaches to pest management Summarizes information from hard-to-get publications in China, India, and Russia

Sustainable Management of Phytoplasma Diseases in Crops Grown in the Tropical Belt
With 160+ countries and islands, the tropical belt is the geographical region centered on the equator and limited by the tropics of Cancer and Capricorn. Tropical agricultural production is mostly for local consumption but cash crops are also present. Tropical agriculture is characterized by a significant lack of capital in research and agricultural systems and by a high prevalence of insect pests and diseases. Phytoplasma diseases are associated by bacteria-like pathogens living in plant sap and spread by sap-feeding insects. They are emerging diseases and are difficult to control, mostly because their epidemiology is not known. This book will focus on detection and prevention of phytoplasma diseases in field and horticultural crops grown in the tropical belt. The book will review current prevention methods used in small and large-scale farms, and present research results aiming at developing sustainable management of phytoplasma diseases in the tropics.
Interactions insectes-plantes
Cet ouvrage présente les grandes fonctions des insectes, leur fonctionnement individuel et collectif, leurs interactions plus ou moins intimes avec les composantes de l’écosystème, en particulier les plantes, en s’appuyant sur l’histoire évolutive à l’origine de ces interactions. Il décrit les multiples applications des recherches sur les insectes pour l’agriculture.
Nature-Based Solutions to 21st Century Challenges
This book provides a systematic review of nature-based solutions and their potential to address current environmental challenges. In the 21st century, society is faced by rapid urbanisation and population growth, degradation and loss of natural capital and associated ecosystem services, an increase in natural disaster risks, and climate change. With growing recognition of the need to work with ecosystems to resolve these issues there is now a move towards nature-based solutions, which involve utilising nature’s ecosystem to solve societal challenges while providing multiple co-benefits. This book systematically reviews nature-based solutions from a public policy angle, assessing policy dev...
Biologie, éco-ethologie et dynamique des populations du Scolyte des grains de café, Hypothenemus hampei Ferr. (Coleoptera, Scolytidae), en Nouvelle-Calédonie
SEMINIVORE STRICTEMENT MONOPHAGE, HYPOTHENEMUS HAMPEI FERR. (COLEOPTERA, SCOLYTIDAE) EST L'ENNEMI MAJEUR DE LA CAFEICULTURE EN NOUVELLE-CALEDONIE.

Biopesticides d'origine végétale (2e éd.)
Les produits naturels sont de plus en plus recherchés pour une agriculture durable, lutilisation sans discernement des pesticides conventionnels de synthèse ayant eu un impact écologique et sanitaire néfaste (résistance des ravageurs, contamination de lenvironnement et des écosystèmes, perte de la biodiversité ). Le recours au monde végétal et aux molécules qui ont permis aux plantes de se protéger contre les ennemis naturels devient donc indispensable. À côté de molécules susceptibles davoir des actions insecticides, fongicides ou herbicides, les recherches récentes ont souligné les activités des composés végétaux dans les mécanismes de défense des plantes. Ell...
Insect Pests of Potato
This fully revised and updated second edition of Insect Pests of Potato now includes an opening section with a basic overview of agronomic and economic issues as they relate to potato production. It also features a new section that reviews potato production, as well as problems caused by insect pests and solutions to these problems, in all major potato-growing regions of the world. Further, a new section discusses theoretical foundations of potato pest management and includes chapters on ecological theory, evolutionary theory, and a case study on their applications to elucidate differences between Eastern and Western populations of Colorado potato beetle in North America. There is also a new...
