Insect Resistance Management: Biology, Economics, and Prediction

Insect Resistance Management: Biology, Economics, and Prediction, Third Edition offers a foundational basis for understanding pest biology, a necessity for working with pest management and resistance management. For years, entomologists have understood that, with their use of economic thresholds, a minimal use of economics is necessary for proper integrated pest management (IPM). Meanwhile, insect resistance management, or IRM, is even more complicated and dependent on an understanding and use of socioeconomic factors. This update includes a new chapter focusing on resistance mechanisms related to plant-incorporated toxins and heavily expanded revisions of some existing chapters. Authors in this edition include professors at major universities, leaders in the chemical and seed industry, evolutionary biologists and active IRM practitioners. This revision also contains more information about IRM outside North America and a modeling chapter with a large new section on uncertainty analysis, a subject recently emphasized by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency. Provides insights from the history of insect resistance management (IRM) and the latest science Includes contributions from experts on ecological aspects of IRM, molecular and population genetics, economics and IRM social issues Covers biochemistry and molecular genetics of insecticides, with an emphasis on recent research Encourages scientists and stakeholders to implement and coordinate strategies based on local social conditions INDICE: 1.
