Editorial Review Product Description The Handbook of Sustainable Weed Management presents the latest international strategies for controlling weeds while preventing dangerous chemicals from endangering the ecosystem or human lives. This compendium focuses on designing future weed management strategies that reduce herbicidal usage, restore ecological balance, and increase food production. This book provides new insights and approaches for weed scientists, agronomists, agriculturists, horticulturists, farmers, extentionists, teachers and students. Tables, figures, and over 125 illustrations—including a color photo section!—make complex information easy to access and understand. In the Handbook of Sustainable Weed Management, experts from Asia, Europe, North America, and Australia organize in one resource the scattered information related to weeds and their management from different ecosystems around the world. The text captures the multifaceted impacts of and approaches to managing weeds from field, farm, landscape, regional, and global perspectives. Generously illustrated with tables and figures, this book not only describes the various techniques for weed management but shows you what methods work best for a given site, invasive weed, or invaded crop. The Handbook of Sustainable Weed Management includes different aspects of weed management relevant to the scope of modern weed science such as: cultural practices cover crops crop rotation designs potential of herbicide resistant crops bioherbicides allelopathy microorganisms integrated weed management In spite of advancement in technologies and procedures, weeds continue to pose a major ecological and economical threat to agriculture.

Editorial Review Product Description Customer Reviews (1)
Insect Viruses and Pest Management The section on basic principles is subdividedinto 10 chapters on: the rationale for using microbial pesticides, viruscharacteristics, assessment of biological activity, baculovirus ecology ininsects, control strategies, virus production, formulation, sprayapplication, conducting and recording field trials and future developments. Although this section duplicates much of what has been presented inearlier texts, it brings together information that has not been integratedinto one text before, updates earlier information and broadens the utilityof the book.The "rationale" chapter is a concise and convincingjustification for the use of microbial control agents of insect pests.Afairly short chapter describing characteristics of entomopathogenic virusesprovides a synopsis of each of the families of viruses found in insectswith the majority of the information devoted to the Baculoviruses.Thechapter also includes the latest nomenclatural information.The nextchapter is a short introduction to the principles of assessment ofbiological activity that is supplemented with detailed "hands on"procedures in part three of the book (Practical Techniques).The chapteron ecology of baculoviruses in insect hosts presents a detailed overview ofthis subject and supplies the reader with a multitude of references.Inaddition to pathology and the dynamics of virus transmission, biotic andabiotic factors that influence viral activity in insects, persistence ofvirus in the environment and epidemiology, there is a section on the use ofmodels in understanding and using Baculoviruses in pest management.Thechapter on control strategies includes the use of viruses in classical andsemi-classical biological control, inundative applications, methods toenhance effectiveness and integration of viruses with other pathogens andconventional chemical insecticides.Chapters on virus production,formulation and spray application present a mix of theory and practicalinformation.The most comprehensive of these is the chapter on formulationwhich includes a broad range of formulation components and their functions. The chapter on "Conduct and recording of field control trials"delivers a concise overview on a variety of topics related to conductingfield trials, including parameters related to the condition of the virusinoculum, virus coverage, susceptibility of the target insect, field designand statistical treatment, and recording data. Part two of the book,"World survey" is a review of the usage of entomopathogenicviruses against specific pests from a global perspective.Twelve chapterscover 11 geographical regions in terms of current research and controlpractices.The introductory chapter by P. F. Entwistle presents anoverview in the form of tables for each of the geographic areas covered insubsequent chapters.In addition to the viruses that are addressed in eachzone, the tables present an overview of work being conducted on: strainsearch, characterization, infectivity testing, ecology, safety testing,environmental impact studies, formulation research, field trials, extensiontrials, production and development, registration, commercialization andsales.The following eleven chapters are contributed by 15 authors, mostof which are from the geographic areas being covered.The length andcontent of the chapters varies, but the reader will be furnished with asummary of fairly up to date information literally from the four corners ofthe globe.The general format of each chapter includes a regionalperspective, information on virus production, formulation, safety tests andregistration, and field experimentation.Most of the information regardingfield experimentation and efficacy is organized under specific target pestinsects. Part three is an extensive "how to do" section of thebook that concentrates on techniques used to work with entomopathogenicviruses and their production in host insects and cell lines.It alsoincludes biochemical and molecular methods (Western blots, protein assay,PCR, etc.) and a variety of useful information from general laboratorypractice to spray application.The chapter on mass production, productformulation and quality control actually contains very little regardingmass production, but procedures for production are covered in several otherchapters.Procedures for formulating virus supplement the detailed chapteron formulation in part one of the book.The final chapter of the sectionon registration requirements is a bit out of place in that it does notinclude practical techniques per se.Chapters in this section will beuseful to the novice as well as the experienced insect pathologist andinclude step by step procedures, materials that are required, and didacticfigures and diagrams to assist the user. Part four on environmentalfactors influencing viral survival contains two short chapters focusing onsolar radiation and the effect plant surfaces can have on viral activity. The solar radiation chapter generally covers the physical properties andbiological impact of ultraviolet radiation in terms of damage to DNA, RNAand proteins.The chapter on plant surfaces addresses the effects of leafsurface macro- and micro-structure, and chemical and micro-meteorologicalconditions and their measurement. The book will make an excellentaddition to the library of anyone working on entomopathogenic viruses.Itsthorough coverage of the subject will provide the reader with a singlesource of information without the need to cross reference another 2 or morebooks.The dedication of the book to the late Norman Crook is a sadreminder that we have lost one of our best in the field of entomopathogenicviruses. ...
