 Free Download Suzanne Austin Alchon, "A Pest in the Land: New World Epidemics in a Global Perspective" English | 2003 | ISBN: 0826328717, 0826328709 | PDF | pages: 224 | 11.7 mb Newly pertinent to today's coronavirus pandemic, this study of disease among the native peoples of the New World before and after 1492 challenges many widely held notions about encounters between European and native peoples. Whereas many late twentieth century scholars blamed the catastrophic decline of postconquest native populations on the introduction of previously unknown infections from the Old World, Alchon argues that the experiences of native peoples in the New World closely resembled those of other human populations. Exposure to lethal new infections resulted in rates of morbidity and mortality among native Americans comparable to those found among Old World populations.  Free Download Insect Predators in Pest Management by Omkar English | 2023 | ISBN: 1032441763 | 333 pages | True PDF | 20.25 MB  Parasitoids in Pest Management English | 2023 | ISBN: 1032406704 | 371 Pages | PDF (True) | 96 MB Pests cause economic damage to crops and stored products, while vectors are responsible for the transmission of disease-causing agents in human beings and livestock. Although the application of synthetic pesticides in agriculture has given immediate relief, it has also caused well-known side effects, leading to a general consensus among entomologists and agriculturists to shift towards other ecofriendly pest management. Insect natural enemies consisting of predators, parasitoids, and pathogens have attracted the attention of scientists across the globe. These natural enemies exist in agroecosystems and suppress the populations of pests. Parasitoids are farmers' friends and the most successful group of natural enemies. Highly specialised in their host choice, the female parasitoid searches for a suitable host to lay eggs and larvae in, on or near the hosts. Exploiting this potency of parasitoids may yield successful results in controlling notorious pests in an ecofriendly way.  Integrated Pest Management in Diverse Cropping Systems by Devendra Pal Singh English | 2023 | ISBN: 978-1774911167 | 580 pages | True PDF | 14.49 MB Climate change has intensified in recent decades, which has affected crop production as well as facilitated the emergence of new diseases and insect pests, causing serious threats to agriculture. Farmers have mostly taken a crop-based approach to insect pest management (IPM); the authors of this new volume, however, take the unique approach that IPM based on specific cropping systems is more efficient, resulting in reduced cultivation costs, increased yield and profitability, and decreased residue from crop produce and products. This volume presents the results of research done by crop protection scientists on integrated pest management in diverse cropping systems based on rice, wheat, maize, pulses, food legumes, oilseeds, groundnut, potato, and other horticulture crops.  Microbial Approaches for Insect Pest Management by Omkar English | PDF | 2022 | 452 Pages | ISBN : 9811635943 | 10.5 MB
 English | 2021 | ISBN: 0760370060 | 208 pages | True PDF | 82.31 MB InThe Vegetable Garden Pest Handbook,you'll find the simple, straightforward resources and tools you need to identify common pests of edible gardens and manage them without the use of synthetic chemical pesticides. Climate change and newly introducedinsect pestsare changing the world of gardening. Pests that once produced a single generation per year are now producing two or even three, and accidentally imported pest insects have no natural predators to keep them in check. These leaf-munching critters can cause significant damage in short order,reducing your yields and costing you time and money, especially if your garden is out of balance or your plants are stressed and vulnerable.  English | 2021 | ISBN: 979-8510615265, B097SNC3KY | 126 pages | True EPUB | 4.68 MB Book 3 of the Hungry Garden series talks about the other hungry species dwelling in your garden - insects! Whether they're eating your plants - or eating the insects that are eating your plants - insects are fascinating to learn about, even the garden-wreckers.  English | 2022 | ISBN: 9781800620216 | 308 pages | True PDF | 12.71 MB This book presents a global overview of the background to, and the current state of, crop protection and pest management in cotton crops. Cotton is one of the most economically important crops in the world and has been grown for centuries but maintaining high yields of good quality requires sophisticated approaches to pest management. The introduction and use of pesticides over the decades significantly increased cotton yields but lead to many adverse environmental impacts. Over time, new and alternative insecticides were developed but overuse has enabled pests to develop significant resistance. The development of genetically modified cotton varieties with toxins derived from Bacillus thuringiensis enabled much improved control of lepidopteran larvae, including bollworms, but as the toxins had no effect on sucking pests, farmers had no choice but to continue using insecticides. Also, some of the new cotton varieties developed in recent times have not adapted to different climatic conditions and the quality of cotton fibre declined as a result. This book shows the need for more research to select cotton varieties with high quality fibres suitable for different cotton growing areas and to develop integrated pest management strategies to minimise the use of pesticides. It also demonstrates the need for an inter-disciplinary approach bringing together plant breeders, entomologists, plant pathologists, agronomists and agricultural engineers to achieve high yields of high quality cotton.

RNAi Strategies for Pest Management English | 2022 | ISBN: 1071616323 | 370 Pages | PDF | 10.3 MB This volume explores the latest techniques used for sustainable development of eco-friendly pest management systems. Chapters in this book look at the design of novel RNAi-mediated pest control strategies and related issues. Some of the topics covered in this book are identification and characterization of differentially expressed non-coding RNAs in insect genomes; functional small RNA design; analysis of endogenous RNAi pathways; RNAi screening; plant models of RNAi-mediated pest control; and dsRNA delivery. Written in the highly successful Methods in Molecular Biology series format, chapters include introductions to their respective topics, lists of the necessary materials and reagents, step-by-step, readily reproducible laboratory protocols, and tips on troubleshooting and avoiding known pitfalls. |
