This book was released on 1983 with total page 34 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The practice of growing varieties, lines or hybrids resistant to attack by insects and their subsequent effectiveness in reducing pest populations and corresponding crop losses, is well documented for several agricultural crops and pest species. The development of many of these resistant cultivars has resulted from or been facilitated by (1) many years of study of the insect pests, (2) the developement of techniques to mass near the insects, articially infest the crop species, and screen the germplasm of the species for their wild relatives) for resistance, and (3) the successful application of appropriate breeding procedures for improvement of the resistance characteristic over succeeding cycles or generations of population improvement. The basic components necessary to identify or develop germplasm with resistance, or with higher levels of resistance than present cultivars utilized by farmer/producers, include: (1) A colony of the insect species, which exhibits the vigor and vitality of the damaging pest population within the geographical area that is affected. (2) The capability to efficiently mass culture the species, including the rearing facility, trained personnel, natural, meridic, or defined diets, and rearing procedures and containers. (3) Germplasm resources that are representative of the genetic variation within the crop and/or its closely related species. (4) Methods for uniform artificial infestation. (5) Methods for assessing resultant damage, or lack of damage, to the plants subjected to deliberate infestation (rating scales to determine classes or categories of resistance or susceptibility). (6) Screening to determine whether adequate levels of resistance exist within suitable agronomic types (equivalent or better than currently grown cultivars), and an effective selection/breeding scheme established to improve either the resistance levels or agronomic characteristics of the "improved" materials.

Book Synopsis Techniques for Evaluating Insect Resistance in Crop Plants by : Charles M. Smith
Download or read book Techniques for Evaluating Insect Resistance in Crop Plants written by Charles M. Smith and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 1993-12-17 with total page 336 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This comprehensive book is the first illustrated volume to provide detailed discussions of all plant genera regarding techniques developed to evaluate plant resistance to insects. Many of the book's references have never before appeared in a volume on this subject. The authors systematically discuss techniques used to evaluate different types of insect behavior and plant morphological and phytochemical factors responsible for plant resistance and susceptibility to insects.

Book Synopsis Plant Resistance to Arthropods by : C. Michael Smith
Download or read book Plant Resistance to Arthropods written by C. Michael Smith and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2006-01-16 with total page 421 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book synthesizes new information about the environmental advantages of plant resistance, transgenic resistance, the molecular bases of resistance, and the use of molecular markers to map resistance genes. Readers are presented in-depth descriptions of techniques to quantify resistance, factors affecting resistance expression, and the deployment of resistance genes. New information about gene-for-gene interactions between resistant plants and arthropod biotypes is discussed along with the recent examples of using arthropod resistant plants in integrated pest management systems.
Book Synopsis Biological and Biotechnological Control of Insect Pests by : Jack E. Rechcigl
Download or read book Biological and Biotechnological Control of Insect Pests written by Jack E. Rechcigl and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 1999-09-24 with total page 392 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Pest and disease management continues to challenge the agricultural community. The rise in new pest and crop problems juxtaposed with public concern over pesticide use and more stringent environmental regulations creates the need for today's agricultural producers to stay current with new technologies for producing quality crops profitably. Biological and Biotechnological Control of Insect Pests presents an overview of alternative measures to traditional pest management practices, utilizing biological control and biotechnology. The removal of some highly effective broad-spectrum chemicals, caused by concerns over environmental health and public safety, has resulted in the development of alternative, reduced risk crop protection products. These products, less toxic to the environment and easily integrated into biological control systems, target specific life stages or pest species. Predation - recognized as a suitable, long term strategy - effectively suppresses pests in biotechnological control systems. Biological and Biotechnological Control of Insect Pests covers these topics and more. It explores the current approaches in alternative solutions such as: biological control agents, parasites and predators, pathogenic microorganisms, pheromones, botanical insecticides, genetic control, genetic engineering of plants and biocontrol agents, and government regulations for biocontrol agents and recombinant DNA technology. This book will be a useful resource to entomologists, agronomists, horticulturists, and environmental scientists.
