Exploiting Biodiversity for Sustainable Pest Management
2001This is the proceedings of a symposium held in Yunnan, China. The book's chapters are grouped into four sections — habitat diversity, microbial diversity, genetic diversity, and technology diffusion — corresponding to the four main topics of the symposium.

Diversity of transgenes in sustainable management of insect pests
Transgenic Research, 2023Insecticidal transgenes, when incorporated and expressed in plants, confer resistance against insects by producing several products having insecticidal properties. Protease inhibitors, lectins, amylase inhibitors, and chitinase genes are associated with the natural defenses developed by plants to counter insect attacks.

Pest Management of Soybean: Sustainable Production Techniques
2014Diverse pests cause losses in agriculture. Among them, insects are noted for inhabiting all the environments and for quickly adapting to the environmental adversities. From one million insects, around 10 % of them cause some kind of damage in agriculture, representing severe or even total losses, depending on the culture.

Integrated Pest Management for Sustainable Agriculture
2018Widespread insecticide resistance has been a major problem in a sustainable agriculture such as the resistance of Tuta absoluta (Meyrick) in tomato crops to some insecticides. Also, the increasing public concern over pesticide safety and possible damage to the environment has resulted in increasing attention being given to safety products for the ...

Optimizing pyramided transgenic Bt crops for sustainable pest management
Nature Biotechnology, 2015Transgenic crop pyramids producing two or more Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt) toxins that kill the same insect pest have been widely used to delay evolution of pest resistance. To assess the potential of pyramids to achieve this goal, we analyze data from 38 studies that report effects of ten Bt toxins used in transgenic crops against 15 insect pests.

Arthropod Pest Management in Sustainable Agricultural Systems
2015Insect pests have been considered to cause substantial annual losses in global crop production. Chemical pesticides have been the primary solution for controlling such insect pests in conventional agricultural practice. However, the overuse of chemicals has caused long-term and irreversible destruction to the environment.

Climate-Adaptive Pest Management for Sustainable Agriculture
Climate change is profoundly affecting crop pests worldwide, endangering global food security and necessitating action to mitigate losses and reduce greenhouse gas emissions. A transition to climate-adaptive pest management (CAPM) is advocated, emphasizing holistic, climate-smart strategies to minimize crop losses and bolster agricultural resilience ...Saira Shafiq +6 more
