Temperature Sensitivity In Insects And Application In Integrated Pest Management

by Guy J Hallman, David L Denlinger

Overview

This book focuses on an array of integrated pest management tools (IPM) that exploit extreme temperatures, examining the biological basis for using temperature extremes in controlling insects and presenting practical IPM techniques that rely on temperature.

Editorial Reviews

This series of essays collectively analyzes recent developments in the use of lethal applications of extreme temperatures<-->both high and low<-->to protect stores grains, control urban pests, and keep pest populations below economically damaging levels in both greenhouse and field environments. Topics include the biophysics of heat transfer; the physiology of heat and cold sensitivity; mechanisms of temperature in insects; synergism between temperature techniques and other pest management methods; and the cold storage of insects to be used as biological control agents.
