This book includes, in simple and accessible terms, very
relevant topics such as the effect of pesticides, the impact of diseases and
their management, production and analysis of pollen present in honey, DNA
analysis, and sustainable management, among others. This book is answering an
expected need for accurate and international information for the productive
sector.
The subject matter in this
book should attract the reader's concern to support rational decisions regarding
the use of pesticides. This book is compiled of 24 Chapters divided into 4
Sections. Section A focuses on toxicity of organic and inorganic insecticides,
Section B is dedicated to vector control using insecticides, biological control
of mosquito larvae, Section C describes bioactive natural products from
sapindacea, management of potato pests, flower thrips, mango mealy bug, pear
psylla and grapes pests, Section D provides information on insecticide
resistance in natural population of malaria vector, role of Anopheles gambiae
P450 cytochrome, genetic toxicological profile of carbofuran and pirimicarp
carbamic insecticides, etc.
This note provides an
introduction to the biology and identification of insects and an introduction to
insect pest management. Emphasis is placed on the application of entomology in
agriculture, horticulture, forestry, and everyday life.
This book Contains Upwards of Six
Hundred and Fifty Figures and Descriptions of Foreign Insects, Interspersed with
Remarks and Reflections on Their Nature and Properties.Also is a great example of an 18th century
