| Publisher Description: Pests and diseases remain a significant threat to crop yields worldwide. With concerns about the environmental impact of synthetic pesticides, there remains a need to develop more environmentally-friendly biological methods of control that can be combined synergistically within integrated pest management (IPM) strategies. Improving integrated pest management (IPM) in horticulture provides a comprehensive review of the recent developments in integrated pest management (IPM) for horticultural crops. The collection builds on the wealth of research on insect and disease control in horticulture using IPM strategies, with dedicated parts to the alternative control methods, such as biological, technological and physical, as well as examples of practical implementation of these methods. Edited by Professor Rosemary Collier, Warwick University, UK, Improving integrated pest management (IPM) in horticulture will be a standard reference for researchers in IPM in horticultural science departments, entomologists, manufacturers/suppliers of pesticides and crop pest management products, as well as government agencies monitoring and regulating pest management in agriculture. |
