Parasitoids in Pest Management
Editat de Omkaren Limba Engleză Hardback – 13 mar 2023
This book covers information on the important biocontrol agents effective in pest suppression. It starts with insect parasitic groups followed by specific groups of parasitoids. It is hoped that the book presents a comprehensive account of beneficial parasitoirds, and will be useful to undergraduate and postgraduate students of Entomology, Biological Control, Plant Protection, Agricultural Zoology, and Zoology, besides those involved in competitive examinations and policy planning.
Features:
- Each chapter has been written by very experienced specialists
- Every chapter includes Learning Objectives and Points to Remember
- This book offers comprehensive knowledge of parasitoids and their application in pest management in a rational way

Recenzii
"With the ever-increasing shift in agricultural paradigms from extensive use of insecticides to safer alternatives, interest in biocontrol options in integrated pest management (IPM) programs continues to grow. In this volume specialists provide a broad overview of the role of insect parasitoids in IPM. For each insect group considered as prospective biocontrol agent, the authors draw attention to taxonomy, natural history, host specificities, and management practices (e.g., mass rearing, dissemination, efficacy). The extent of discussion varies from group to group, depending on what is known about a particular taxon. This is an interesting and valuable text that will be of considerable importance to ecologists, conservationists, agriculturalists, and entomologists working in pest management. This is a companion volume to Insect Predators in Pest Management, also edited by Omkar (2023)."

Descriere
This book covers information on one of the most important biocontrol agents that are effective in controling insect pests of crops. It deals with important insect parasitic groups followed by specific group of parasitoids. The book addresses unique and modern aspects of why insect-pest management is necessary and what are different parastoids.
