Series: Burleigh Dodds Series in Agricultural Science

Pests and diseases remain a significant threat to crop yields worldwide. With concerns about the environmental impact of synthetic pesticides, there remains a need to develop more environmentally-friendly biological methods of control that can be combined synergistically within integrated pest management (IPM) strategies.

Improving integrated pest management in horticulture provides a comprehensive review of the recent developments in integrated pest management for horticultural crops. The collection builds on the wealth of research on insect and disease control in horticulture using IPM strategies in areas such as biological control and decision support systems to target techniques more effectively. The book also includes valuable case studies based on practical experience of IPM.

Dr Rosemary Collier is a Professor in the School of Life Sciences at the University of Warwick, UK. A leading authority in integrated pest management (IPM) in horticulture, Professor Collier is Coordinator of the IPM Working Group in the European Vegetable Research Institutes Network (EUVRIN) and Chair of the UK Insecticide Resistance Action Group. Her research has concentrated on the development of IPM strategies for horticultural crops grown outdoors and their implementation by growers, with a focus on northern Europe. Professor Collier has been awarded the Royal Horticultural Society Veitch Memorial Medal for her outstanding contribution to the advancement of the science and practice of horticulture. Professor Travis Glare is Professor of Applied Entomology and Director of the Bio-Protection Research Centre at Lincoln University, New Zealand. He has an international reputation and has published widely in the field of entomopathogenic microbes and use of biopesticides. He has worked on a range of international projects to develop novel biopesticides. Surendra Dara is the Entomology and Biologicals Advisor with the University of California Cooperative Extension. He has nearly 25 years of experience in IPM and microbial control, working on 17 species of invasive pests and diseases and several endemic species throughout his career. He has authored/co-authored more than 390 scientific and extension articles, which include three co-edited books, four co-edited special issues of journals, 19 book chapters, and 50 peer-reviewed journal articles. He is currently serving on various committees or holding offices at the University of California, Entomological Society of America, and the Association of Applied IPM Ecologists. He publishes two eJournals and is a Subject Editor for the Journal of Economic Entomology. Dr Robbie Girling is an Associate Professor in Agroecology and Sustainable Agriculture and the Head of Department of Sustainable Land Management at the University of Reading. His research focuses on investigations into the ecology of insects found in both agricultural and forestry ecosystems and my specific areas of expertise are in plant-insect interactions, and insect behavioural and chemical ecology.

Reviews for Improving Integrated Pest Management in Horticulture

The book contains some excellent detailed overviews of recent advances in IPM technology...I congratulate the editor and authors for assembling such a wide range of up-to-date IPM resources into this valuable initiative for scientists, students, agronomists and growers with an interest in horticulture. (Dr Almudena Ortiz-Urquiza, Plant Pathology) Improving integrated pest management in horticulture presents a comprehensive review of recent advances in knowledge and research in IPM in horticultural production...The book is easy and enjoyable to read and understand and the chapters and topics are logically arranged and presented. It will be a standard reference for graduate students preparing for careers in horticulture, IPM researchers in horticulture, crop pest management professionals, government agencies tasked with monitoring and regulating pesticide use in agriculture and manufacturers and suppliers of agricultural pesticides. (Professor Stephen N. Wegulo, Crop Protection) This book is an extremely important source of information on the present situation and hopefully will encourage more research to refine IPM in horticultural crops. (Professor Graham Matthews, Outlooks on Pest Management)
