Sinopsis:

Integrated Pest Management: Concepts, Tactics, Strategies, and Case Studies presents a comprehensive exploration of Integrated Pest Management (IPM) as a sustainable and science-based approach to controlling agricultural pests. Edited by Edward B. Radcliffe, William D. Hutchinson, and Rafael E. Cancelado, this book combines foundational principles with modern strategies, illustrating how ecological, economic, and social factors intersect in pest control. It covers essential IPM components such as pest identification, monitoring, biological control, and decision-making processes. The editors also examine the evolution of pest management from conventional methods to more integrated and environmentally sensitive practices, offering readers a nuanced understanding of the dynamic nature of pest control systems.

The volume distinguishes itself through its inclusion of real-world case studies that span diverse geographic and crop production systems, demonstrating how IPM is applied in practice. These case studies provide invaluable insights into the successes and challenges of implementing IPM across different agricultural settings. By integrating theory with application, this book is an indispensable resource for students, researchers, extension agents, and agricultural practitioners seeking to develop effective and sustainable pest management strategies in a rapidly changing global environment. It also underscores the importance of interdisciplinary collaboration in advancing the goals of sustainable agriculture and environmental stewardship.
