Alternatives to Chemical Control of Insect Pests
In 2011, practitioners and advocates of Integrated Pest Management (IPM) find themselves addressing agricultural, societal, and political pressures worldwide resulting from human population growth. This growth brings simultaneous burdens of sustaining a steady food supply; these include preventing losses from pests, dealing with increased human global travel, which in turn intensifies opportuni...
متن کاملControl of Agricultural Pests
All over the world a huge effort is being made to fight these pests and now new weapons have been added to man's armoury in this battle. These are radioactive isotopes and radiation sources. Their contribution to the control of agricultural pests is not yet precisely calculable, but several promising lines of attack have been opened up and some concrete r e sults already achieved. The main valu...
متن کاملInsect defence: its impact on microbial control of insect pests
Insects are the earliest and most diverse taxon of animals accounting for more species than all other animals put together because of their high reproductive potential and varied niche. Though cellular reactions like phagocytosis, nodulation and encapsulation and humoral reaction through secretion of antibacterial proteins are known for fungus and bacterial invaders, little is known about insec...

متن کاملISSUES IN AGRICULTURAL AND FOREST ENTOMOLOGY Mycorrhizal fungi as mediators of defence against insect pests in agricultural systems
1 Below-ground organisms influence above-ground interactions in both natural and agricultural ecosystems. Among the most important below-ground organisms are mycorrhizal fungi, comprising ubiquitous and ancient plant mutualists that have significant effects on plant growth and fitness mediated by resource exchange with plants. In the present study, we focus on the effects of arbuscular mycorrhi...
