Description
| Summary: | "Western corn rootworm, Diabrotica virgifera virgifera LeConte, is a major economic pest of maize in the Americas, and now has invaded Europe." "This book provides a comprehensive review of current knowledge of this insect pest and how it might be managed both in North America and in Europe. Comparisons are drawn between plant protection techniques currently applied in North America and their potential application in Europe. Cultural, biotechnical and biological control measures are also addressed, as are ecological baseline data such as population dynamics of the pest in North America and Europe, economic thresholds and aspects of its behaviour. This book will be of significant interest to those working in the areas of entomology and integrated crop protection throughout the world."--Jacket
