Sweet Potato Pest Management: A Global Perspective PDF
Preview Sweet Potato Pest Management: A Global Perspective
Sweet Potato Pest Management About the Book and Editors Sweet potato, lpomoea batatas (L.) Lam., is the seventh most important food crop world-wide. Of all root and tuber crops, it is second in importance to the white potato, Solanum tuberosum L. Despite its importance globally, sweet potato pest management has not received the research attention it deserves. The present book draws on the work of researchers from around the world to summarize the state-of-the-art research on pest management in this important crop. The contributors address issues of crop protection and biology of pests, such as sweet potato weevils, wireworms, cucumber beetles, flea beetles, vine borers, plant-parasitic nematodes, and aphid and whitefly vectors and their associated disease disorders. They also present new data on the biological control of pests and on biotechnological and conventional methods for developing cultivars with resistance to pests. Additionally, the researchers look beyond the field to address regulatory issues and the socioeconomic problems of pest management. Richard K. Jansson is an associate professor of entomology at the University of Florida, Institute of Food and Agricultural Sciences, Tropical Research and Education Center in Homestead. Kandukuri V. Raman is a senior scientist in entomology, project leader in pest management, and acting chairman of the Entomology and Nematology Department at the International Potato Center, Lima, Peru.
