• This book contains 31 chapters covering aphids as crop pests, from recent advances in molecular science and chemical ecology to forecasting and insect pest management decision support systems. It is a comprehensive reference volume on all aspects of the biology of aphids that are relevant to their pest status (including aphid taxonomy, population genetics, life cycle, host plant selection and feeding, nutrition and symbiosis, growth and development, movement, predators, parasitoids, entomopathogens, insecticide resistance and population dynamics) and management strategies to control these pests. Intended for students, researchers and practitioners in the field of entomology and crop production, this book includes several case study chapters on integrated pest management in specific crops, such as cotton, sorghum and cucurbits.
