Improving integrated pest management in horticulture

by Rosemary Collier (Editor), Travis Glare (Contribution by), Aimee C. McKinnon (Contribution by), Philippe C. Nicot (Contribution by), Thomas Pressecq (Contribution by)

Overview

• Reviews the latest research on the advances in IPM strategies for insect and disease control in horticultural crops
• Highlights the challenges of using alternative methods of control successfully in IPM programmes (e.g. biopesticides, bioprotectants, biostimulants)
• Provides examples of the practical implementation of IPM strategies to an array of horticultural crops (cucurbits, tomatoes, potatoes, cabbage, cauliflower) in differing environments (greenhouses, protected cultivation)

About the Author

Dr Rosemary Collier is a Professor in the School of Life Sciences at the University of Warwick, UK. A leading authority in integrated pest management (IPM) in horticulture, Professor Collier is Coordinator of the IPM Working Group in the European Vegetable Research Institutes Network (EUVRIN) and Chair of the UK Insecticide Resistance Action Group. Her research has concentrated on the development of IPM strategies for horticultural crops grown outdoors and their implementation by growers, with a focus on northern Europe. Professor Collier has been awarded the Royal Horticultural Society Veitch Memorial Medal for her outstanding contribution to the advancement of the science and practice of horticulture.

Professor Travis Glare is CEO of Lincoln Agritech Ltd. and Professor of Applied Entomology at Lincoln University, New Zealand. He has an international reputation and has published widely in the field of entomopathogenic microbes and use of biopesticides. He has worked on a range of international projects to develop novel biopesticides.

Surendra Dara is the Entomology and Biologicals Advisor with the University of California Cooperative Extension. He has nearly 25 years of experience in IPM and microbial control, working on 17 species of invasive pests and diseases and several endemic species throughout his career. He has authored/co-authored more than 390 scientific and extension articles, which include three co-edited books, four co-edited special issues of journals, 19 book chapters, and 50 peer-reviewed journal articles. He is currently serving on various committees or holding offices at the University of California, Entomological Society of America, and the Association of Applied IPM Ecologists. He publishes two eJournals and is a Subject Editor for the Journal of Economic Entomology.

Dr Robbie Girling is an Associate Professor in Agroecology and Sustainable Agriculture and the Head of Department of Sustainable Land Management at the University of Reading. His research focuses on investigations into the ecology of insects found in both agricultural and forestry ecosystems and my specific areas of expertise are in plant-insect interactions, and insect behavioural and chemical ecology.

What People are Saying About This

From the Publisher

"This new book is both timely and important for the continued development, improvement and uptake of IPM for horticultural crop. An internationally recognised team of experts have provided updated information on biocontrol, use of biopesticides and biostimulants, improved application methods, pest and disease monitoring, decision support systems, use of conservation methods developed in agroecology, breeding pest and disease resistant crops, trap crops and push pull strategies. With increasing global pressure to produce sustainable food and to achieve pest suppression using ecologically sensitive methods, this book provides not only the latest research but also practical solutions for key vegetable pests, via relevant case studies. I recommend this book to students and practitioners of IPM in horticulture."
Emeritus Prof. Nick Birch, formerly James Hutton Institute, UK

Editorial Reviews

"The work not only presents the state of the art for several aspects of IPM but goes further in analysing the actual issues of efficiency and obstacles for wider application by growers…In conclusion this book is a must-have for horticultural students and scientists. It will certainly help to raise IPM application in horticulture to a higher level."(Peter Bleyaert, Chronica Horticulturae).

"The book contains some excellent detailed overviews of recent advances in IPM technology…I congratulate the editor and authors for assembling such a wide range of up-to-date IPM resources into this valuable initiative for scientists, students, agronomists and growers with an interest in horticulture." (Dr Almudena Ortiz-Urquiza, Plant Pathology)

"Improving integrated pest management in horticulture presents a comprehensive review of recent advances in knowledge and research in IPM in horticultural production…The book is easy and enjoyable to read and understand and the chapters and topics are logically arranged and presented. It will be a standard reference for graduate students preparing for careers in horticulture, IPM researchers in horticulture, crop pest management professionals, government agencies tasked with monitoring and regulating pesticide use in agriculture and manufacturers and suppliers of agricultural pesticides."(Professor Stephen N. Wegulo, Crop Protection)

"This book is an extremely important source of information on the present situation and hopefully will encourage more research to refine IPM in horticultural crops." (Professor Graham Matthews, Outlooks on Pest Management)
