Perseverance Pays Off: Finishing the Integrated Pest Management Marathon with Economics -- IndexMany biological studies on insect management do not consider economics or fundamental economic principles. This book brings together economists and entomologists to explain the principles, successes, and challenges of effective insect management. It highlights the importance of economic analyses for decision making and the feasibility of such approaches, and examines integrated pest management (IPM) practices from around the world with an emphasis on agriculture and public health.The book begins by establishing an economic framework upon which to apply the principles of IPM. It continues to examine the entomological applications of economics, specifically, economic analyses concerning chemical, biological, and genetic control tactics as well as host plant resistance and the cost of sampling and is illustrated with case studies of economic-based IPM programs from around the world.PestsIntegrated controlEconomic aspectsPestsIntegrated controlEconomic aspects.338.162Onstad David W.1177398Crain Philip R.MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910626114503321Economics of integrated pest management of insects2980074UNINA
