Description

Neither pest management nor resistance management can occur with only an understanding of pest biology. For years, entomologists have understood, with their use of economic thresholds, that at least a minimal use of economics was necessary for proper integrated pest management. IRM is even more complicated and dependent on understanding and using socioeconomic factors. The new edition of Insect Resistance Management addresses these issues and much more. Many new ideas, facts and case studies have been developed since the previous edition of Insect Resistance Management published. With a new chapter focusing on Resistance Mechanisms Related to Plant-incorporated Toxins and heavily expanded revisions of several existing chapters, this new volume will be an invaluable resource for IRM researchers, practitioners, professors and advanced students. Authors in this edition include professors at major universities, leaders in the chemical and seed industry, evolutionary biologists and active IRM practitioners. This revision also contains more information about IRM outside North America, and a modeling chapter contains a large new section on uncertainty analysis, a subject recently emphasized by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency. The final chapter contains a section on insecticidal seed treatments. No other book has the breadth of coverage of Insect Resistance Management, 2e. It not only covers molecular to economic issues, but also transgenic crops, seed treatments and other pest management tactics such as crop rotation. Major themes continuing from the first edition include the importance of using IRM in the integrated pest management paradigm, the need to study and account for pest behavior, and the influence of human behavior and decision making in IRM.

About the Editor

David Onstad

Dr. David Onstad has been an entomologist for over 40 years focusing on insect resistance management, insect epizootiology, economics of IPM, and ecological modeling. He is founder and director of the Ecological Database of the World's Insect Pathogens. His activities concerning resistance management include being (1) a panelist or plenary speaker at national workshops on resistance management in Canada and the USA, (2) rapporteur for the World Health Organization technical consultation on use of economics in insecticide resistance management for malaria vector control, and (3) author of a paper commemorating the 200th anniversary of Darwin’s birth for the journal Pest Management Science. Since retiring after 26 years as a professor at the University of Illinois, he has been the lead mathematical modeler for DuPont Pioneer/Corteva Agriscience in support of data-driven strategic decision making, assessing resistance risks, and product registration and development of transgenic insecticidal crops.

    Insect Resistance Management_An important contribution to Entomological research

    How I am medical veterinary and work with with the integrated management of pests directed to livestock importance of pests I miss publications that deal with the subject and present the history and evolution of IPM directed to arthropod parasites of animals and although the book only display a chapter on this subject, I consider its contribution important and opens the opportunity for a more complete approach in an upcoming issue. The other chapters interested me very much and will help in the execution of my activities as a researcher in Animal Health with emphasis on the control of parasitic arthropods in animal production systems.
