Integrated pest management of CAB International.

Abstract

This chapter describes CABI's initiatives in promoting integrated pest (insects, pathogens, weeds and nematodes) management, briefly covering contributions in terms of pest diagnosis and advisory services, rational pesticide use, biological control and biological pesticides, soil and seed health, farmer participatory training and research, technical support to the Global IPM Facility, agricultural biotechnology, and information generation and dissemination.

Fatores que influenciam o ataque de mosca-branca em jiloeiro

“…de Fitotecnia. E-mail: ppereira@mail.ufv.br conhecimento poderia facilitar a previsão do ataque e sua magnitude, como também reduzir os danos econômicos (Dent, 1995). Dentre esses fatores têm-se elementos climáticos, níveis de N e K foliar, fenologia das plantas e disposição das folhas no dossel destas, tricomas e compostos químicos foliares, e inimigos naturais (Marschner, 1995;Leite, 2000).…”

Factors affecting colonization and abundance of Aphis gossypii glover (hemiptera: aphididae) on okra plantations

“…This insect has been controlled primarily with insecticides mainly due to a lack of knowledge on factors affecting its population growth. Such information could be used in predicting attack of this pest which in turn could reduce economic losses to okra plants (DENT, 1995).…”

Factors affecting attack rate of whitefly on the eggplant

“…Extensive use of insecticides can cause negative impacts on the human population and the ecosystem, reduce the number and density of natural enemies, cause development of resistance to insecticide and increase production costs (Dent, 1995). One of the main reasons for this extensive application is the lack of information on the factors which control insect population.…”

“…One of the main reasons for this extensive application is the lack of information on the factors which control insect population. Such information could help the prediction of the attack by insects which in turn could reduce economic losses (Dent, 1995). Many factors can influence population density of whitefly in host plants such as weather, levels of N and K, age and vigor of plants, type and density of trichomes, allelochemicals and natural enemies (Horowitz et al, 1984;Horowitz, 1986;Hirano et al, 1993Hirano et al, , 1995Dent, 1995;Leite, 2000).…”

The objective of this study was to determine the effects of weather, predators and parasitoids, canopy height and plant age, leaf chemical composition, levels of N and K and leaf trichomes on the intensity of Bemisia tabaci attack in Solanum melongena.…”
