Citrus pests are a serious issue for crop growers, causing problems in yield and economic losses. This title studies mites harmful to citrus plants from various citrus growing regions around the world. It addresses methods of removal from plants, describes symptoms of damage caused by pests and discusses methods of eradication and control.
This book contains 21 chapters focusing on the principles and guidelines of organic agriculture in different crops and includes a brief presentation of each crop and its pests, followed by a discussion on the bioecology and current methods of control that are known to be used according to the organic farming technique.
"Using Pesticides Wisely in Crop Production" provides essential insights into the action of pesticides in plants, their metabolism in soil microbes, plants, and animals, bioaccumulation, and the sensitivity of the microbiome towards pesticides. We explore pesticide risk assessment, resistance development in pests, microbial remediation of pesticide-contaminated legumes, and the mitigation of pesticide toxicity in plants through plant hormones. This book is designed to help you understand how to use newly invented technologies to protect our environment. We cover basic concepts and real-life case studies, enabling you to learn effectively and quickly. Written in easy-to-understand language, this book is a valuable resource for anyone aiming to master the use of pesticides in crop production.
Ecology is a component of Encyclopedia of Environmental and Ecological Sciences, Engineering and Technology Resources in the global Encyclopedia of Life Support Systems (EOLSS), which is an integrated compendium of twenty one Encyclopedias. Ecology is the study of the interrelationships between living organisms and their environment. The term "ecology" was introduced by Ernst Haeckel, at the end of the nineteenth century. Since that time spectacular advances have been made. Much has been learned about the relationship between organisms and environmental factors, and about the processes that regulate the abundance and distribution of species. The Theme on Ecology with contributions from distinguished experts in the field discusses the Science of Ecology for a Sustainable World. The two volumes are aimed at the following five major target audiences: University and College students Educators, Professional practitioners, Research personnel and Policy analysts, managers, and decision makers and NGOs.
Mites pose a serious problem to plants worldwide, attacking crops and spreading disease. When mites damage crops of economic importance the impacts can be felt globally. Mites are among the most diverse and successful of invertebrates, with over 45,000 described species, with many more thousands to be discovered. They are responsible for a significant portion of the losses of crops for food, fibre, industry and other purposes, and require expensive and often controversial pest control measures. Understanding these mites is vital for entomologists, pest researchers, agronomists and food producers. Knowledge of mite pests helps to inform control strategies and optimize the production of econom...
The words pronounced by Serge Kreiter during the meeting come to mind. They could record exactly the situation of Acarology in Europe and in the World: "I think that in many European countries there are very few full time acarologists. It is very rare to have new positions available . . . . And public money, from the European Community but also from national countries, is very hard to get when you want to work on mites . . . . Could two acarological associations in Europe (Eur. A. Ac. and S. I. A. L. F) work together or, better, get married?" So, the fourth symposium of the European Acarologists has not only been the occasion to have an idea on which direction the research is addressed today...

This book provides acomprehensive and up-to-date study of mites associated with stored products, covering core concerns including the mites of cheese, ham and sausages, mushrooms and vegetable fibres. Numerous species belonging to differentfamilies are described and illustrated in addition to the inclusion of generalchapters on: systems of Acari; classification of mites of stored food; externaland internal morphology; bio-ecology; collecting and detecting, preserving, preparing and rearing; damage and control.
