Pest Management in Soybean by L.G. Copping,M.B. Green,R.T. Rees Pdf
This book is the third in a series of volumes on major tropical and sub-tropical crops. These books aim to review the current state of the art in management of the total spectrum of pests and diseases which affect these crops in each major growing area using a multi-disciplinary approach. Soybean is economically the most important legume in the world. It is nutritious and easily digested, and is one of the richest and cheapest sources of protein. It is currently vital for the sustenance of many people and it will play an integral role in any future attempts to relieve world hunger. Soybean seed contains about 17% of oil and about 63% of meal, half of which is protein. Modern research has developed a variety of uses for soybean oil. It is processed into margarine, shortening, mayonnaise, salad creams and vegetarian cheeses. Industrially it is used in resins, plastics, paints, adhesives, fertilisers, sizing for cloth, linoleum backing, fire extinguishing materials, printing inks and a variety of other products. Soybean meal is a high-protein meat substitute and is used in the developed countries in many processed foods, including baby foods, but mainly as a feed for livestock. Soybean (Glycine max), which evolved from Glycine ussuriensis, a wild legume native to northern China, has been known and used in China since the eleventh century Be. It was introduced into Europe in the eighteenth century and into the United States in 1804 as an ornamental garden plant in Philadelphia.

Handbook of Biological Control by T. W. Fisher,Thomas S. Bellows,L. E. Caltagirone,D. L. Dahlsten,Carl B. Huffaker,G. Gordh Pdf
For many years the use of chemical agents such as pesticides and herbicides has been effective in controlling the many varieties of pests that infest both agricultural crops and backyard gardens. However, these pests are gradually becoming resistant to these agents, because the agents themselves are acting as selective factors making the pests better and better able to resist and persist. As a result, the use of biological controlling agents is increasing. This book is a comprehensive and authoritative handbook of biological control.

Compendium of Soybean Diseases and Pests by Glen Lee Hartman,John Clark Rupe,Edward J. Sikora,Leslie Leigh Domier,Jeff A. Davis,Kevin Lloyd Steffey Pdf
"Soybean is one of the most significant crops grown in the world today. Soybeans are also hosts to a long list of diseases and insect pests, and that list grows each year. New and practical references that help users identify and manage this growing range of threats are vital to ensuring a healthy, high-yielding, profitable soybean harvest. Enter the Compendium of Soybean Diseases and Pests, Fifth Edition. This unique and practical reference is tailored to the needs of soybean growers, consultants, extension agents, and plant pathologists working in the field, in diagnostic laboratories, in plant clinics, and in academic institutions. The fifth edition is packed with new information on pests and their management since the fourth edition was launched more than a decade ago. This book is also more international in scope and comprehensive than its four previous editions, which sold more than 30,000 copies worldwide. In total, more than 90 diseases and their management are covered, along with the many major insect pests and abiotic disorders of soybean. Each section of this new compendium has been written or revised by top soybean authorities who are experts on the particular pests and disorders featured in the book. New sections in the fifth edition describe insect pests and their management, summarize the molecular detection of pathogens, and provide an international perspective on the importance of soybean disease management in the world's leading soybean-producing countries. Exactly 260 images and illustrations complement this comprehensive book, which has been organized into four main sections: Part I addresses diseases and pests caused by biotic factors, including prokaryotes, fungi and oomycetes, nematodes, and viruses; and includes a section on seed and postharvest pathology. Part II, which is new to this edition, covers insect pests and provides strategies for their management. Part III discusses disorders caused by abiotic factors, ranging from weather-related stress disorders to those caused by mineral deficiencies and toxicities and injuries from various chemicals and pollutants. Part IV provides strategies for the management of soybean diseases and pests. The discussion focuses on biological enhancements, cultural practices, host plant resistance, and pesticide use. This new edition also includes an introduction that provides background information about the history and growth of the soybean plant along with a contemporary discussion of the importance of soybean pathogens and pests in the world's chief soybean-producing countries. Several appendices identify pathogens of soybeans, insects associated with soybean, and hosts of soybean pathogens. A comprehensive glossary and index are provided, as well. Whether you are a scientist who needs an authoritative reference on diseases or a practitioner who needs or provides management recommendations, this book is a must-have" -- From the publisher.

Handbook of Companion Animal Ecloparasites by Fred Knapp,Nancy Hinkle Pdf
Anyone who has owned a pet will know that there are a huge number of pests that can infect their animal. These pests include mites, ticks, fleas, flies, lice, gnats etc (or ectoparasites). In veterinary parasitology, ectoparasites assume greater prominence than in other parasitological disciplines. An understanding of the biology, behaviour and distribution of these ectoparasites along with the diagnosis and treatment of them is essential for vets, breeders and pet owners alike. There is increasing public concern over zoonoses. The Entomological Society of America has published a series of Handbooks (4 in total) called the ESA Pest Handbook Series. Titles are Handbook of Household and Structural Insect Pests, Handbook of Corn Insects, Handbook of Soybean Insect Pests and Handbook of Turfgrass Insect Pests. All of these handbooks retail at $30 for members and $37.00 for non-members and are four color throughout, are 8.5 x 11 and around 160 pages. There are a further 4 handbooks in development, one of which is this title on Handbook of Companion Animal Ectoparasites. Alan Kahan, Director of Communications at ESA approached me about the possibility of Blackwell publishing the ectoparasite book. Reasons being that ESA do not have good marketing channels to the veterinary community. In further discussions with Alan it's clear that the Handbooks haven't done well for the ESA. They are too cheaply priced and haven't been well managed. For the 4 Handbooks in development the publishing committee have decided to outsource publication to other publishers. The 3 other handbooks have been offered to the American Phytopathological Society who have a big publishing program themselves. The Science Division have been looking for ways to get closer to ESA to initiate discussions on their journal publishing. I have tried to open discussions with Alan, but at this stage it is only their book publishing that is under review. However it can only help for us to start working with them in publishing capacity, even if it is on a small scale.
This handbook, designed to facilitate the identification of common insects affecting maize, contains descriptions and color photographs of pests of the seed, root, and seedling, pests of the foliage and tassel; pests of the stem, ear, and tassel; and pests of the ear and grain. The handbook also includes key for identifying insect pests, a guide to beneficial insects, and a section on insect control.
