Agro-ecological Approaches to Pest Management for Sustainable Agriculture

Buch

This book outlines a new paradigm, Agro-ecological Intensification of Crop Protection, which reduces negative impacts on the environment and enhances the provision of ecosystem services. It discusses the use of ecologically based management strategies to increase the sustainability of agricultural production while reducing off-site consequences, highlighting the underlying principles and outlining some of the key management practices and technologies required to implement agro-ecological pest management. It also comprehensively explores important topics like stimulo-deterrent diversion strategy, precision agriculture, plant breeding, nutrient… Mehr
