Sustainable Management of Arthropod Pests of Tomato

Langue : Anglais

Coordonnateurs : Wakil Waqas, Brust Gerald E, Perring Thomas

Couverture de l’ouvrage Sustainable Management of Arthropod Pests of Tomato

Sustainable Management of Arthropod Pests of Tomato provides insight into the proper and appropriate application of pesticides and the integration of alternative pest management methods.

The basis of good crop management decisions is a better understanding of the crop ecosystem, including the pests, their natural enemies, and the crop itself. This book provides a global overview of the biology and management of key arthropod pests of tomatoes, including arthropod-vectored diseases. It includes information that places tomatoes in terms of global food production and food security, with each pest chapter including the predators and parasitoids that have specifically been found to have the greatest impact on reducing that particular pest.

In-depth coverage of the development of resistance in tomato plants and the biotic and abiotic elicitors of resistance and detailed information about the sustainable management of tomato pests is also presented.

Section I: Introduction 1. Tomato and Management Associated Arthropod Pests - Past, Present and Future

Section II: Global Pests of Tomato 2. Aphids: Biology, ecology and management 3. Thrips: vector biology and management 4. Whiteflies: Biology, ecology and management 5. Mites: Biology, ecology, and management 6. Lepidopterous pests: Biology, ecology, and management 7. Psyllids: Biology, ecology, and management 8. Minor pests: Biology, ecology and management

Section III: Integrated Pest Management of Tomato Pests 9. Host plant resistance in tomato 10. Engineering insect resistance in tomato by transgenic approaches 11. Biological control in tomato production systems: theory and practice 12. Entomopathogenic nematodes in biological control of tomato pests 13. Protection of tomatoes using bagging technology and its role in IPM of arthropod pests 14. Applications and trends in commercial biological control for arthropod pests of tomato 15. Integrated pest management strategies for tomato under protected structures 16. Integrated pest management strategies for field-grown tomatoes 17. Agricultural pesticide registration in the United States

Professionals, researchers and students in agriculture, integrated pest management, and entomology as well as extension specialists and related roles globally who guide others in appropriate implementation and use of pesticides.

Waqas Wakil is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Entomology at University of Agriculture, Faisalabad (UAF), Pakistan. He has 15 years teaching and research experience and secured two Ph.D.'s - first from University of Agriculture, Faisalabad, Pakistan and then from Trier University, Trier, Germany. He has worked in a number of international research laboratories as Visiting Scientist/Professor. His research mainly spans in the fields of biological control, insect pathology, sustainable and integrated pest management of vegetable and stored grain insect pests. He has presented his research in number of international conferences as Invited Speaker and published 80 peer-reviewed research manuscripts in scientific journals. He has successfully completed various research grants as Lead Scientist and developed bio-intensive integrated pest management strategies in vegetable crops using microbial agents and other eco-friendly control practices. He has mentored four Ph.D. and 39 M.Phil. students at UAF. He is the member of several professional societies, Editorial board of scientific journals and the Fellow of Royal Entomological Society (UK) and a Fulbright Scholar (USA).
Gerald Brust has conducted integrated pest management research in vegetables and outreach to growers in the Eastern United States for over 25 years. During this period he has over 150 publications dealing with insect pest management as well as horticultural topics. He has authored or co-authored 9 chapters in various books that involve insect pest management of vegetables (tomatoes, cucurbits, sweet corn) and the importance of Carabid beetles in agroecosystems. He has presented his research findings to other professionals at national and international meetings. He has worked internationally developing new integrated pest management strategies for tomatoes and horticultural plants in developing countries. Gerald Brust has been asked to review over 150 manuscripts for publication by 23 differe
