Pesticide Application Methods 4e
by Graham Matthews, Roy Bateman, and Paul Miller
Pesticide Application Methods is the standard work on the subject for all those involved in crop protection. This fully updated Fourth Edition takes account of the considerable changes in legislation, especially within the European Union, affecting some pesticides and how they can be applied. With greater emphasis now on protecting the environment, an additional chapter in this edition describes the importance of managing treatments to minimise spray drift, and the chapter on applying biopestic...
Crop and Livestock Technologies
During the last six decades of the twentieth century, U.S. agriculture experienced great progress through the utilization of technological advances in machinery and equipment, pest and disease protection, nutrients, irrigation, breeding and genetics, and conservation. The question now arises, Can the United States sustain or even increase the rate of this progress, particularly in the crop and livestock sectors of the agricultural economy? To obtain the information needed to answer this question...
Cultivation of Medicinal and Aromatic Crops
by A.A. Farooqi, B.S. Sreeramu, and B.S. Sreesarwill
The production of Agaricus bisporus is a major, world-wide, highly mechanized process. Healthy crops are essential if yields, quality and profitability are to be maintained. Pests and diseases are a major cause of crop losses and this book covers their recognition, biology and control. New pests and diseases are described together with changes in the management of pest and pathogen populations. The book is fully up-to-date on the important cultural changes that have occurred in recent years. New...
Advances in Coconut Research and Development
Papers of the second International Symposium on Coconut Research and Development, held at Central Plantation Crops Research Institute, Kasargod, Kerala, 26th-29th Nov. 1991 organized by the Indian Society for Plantation Crops.
Scaling Methods in Soil Physics
The scaling issue remains one of the largest problems in soil science and hydrology. This book is a unique compendium of ideas, conceptual approaches, techniques, and methodologies for scaling soil physical properties. Scaling Methods in Soil Physics covers many methods of scaling that will be useful in helping scientists across a range of soil-related disciplines. The first single-source reference in this developing field, the text will help readers develop a greater understanding of how to int...

by W. R. Oschwald
The Cloud is an advanced and fast-growing technology in the current era. The computing paradigm has changed drastically. It provided a new insight into the computing world with new characteristics including on-demand, virtualization, scalability and many more. Utility computing, virtualization and service-oriented architecture (SoA) are the key characteristics of Cloud computing. The Cloud provides distinct IT services over the web on a pay-as-you-go and on-demand basis. Cloud Computing Technolo...
The Vegetable Pathosystem (Innovations in Horticultural Science)
Variability in vegetable pathogens is a critical issue, particularly in changing environments, as it presents challenges to accurate diagnoses and proper management. This book focuses on the diverse ecology of phytopathogens, covering the varying disease categories (acute, chronic, and emerging), the mechanisms involved in disease development, pathogen variability, and disease management. The book also discusses the preharvest and postharvest challenges that arise due to these phytopathogens.Key...
The implementation of Integrated Pest Management (IPM) has been a great success in temperate areas, but its role in tropical regions is less known. The tropics face specific challenges, namely weather that impacts insect life cycles and pesticide application. Beginning by reviewing the current state of pests, biological and chemical control and emerging technologies, this book then addresses specific crops, providing an up-to-date, research-oriented overview of IPM in tropical regions. This book...
A compilation of test methods useful in risk assessment of transgenic plants. It is intended to aid the environmental researcher in finding and comparing relevant methods quickly and easily. It is also suitable as a reference work for those working in plant population biology and genetics. The major processes affecting the fate of plants are covered, with emphasis on invasion, competition and establishment, eg seed dispersal, density-dependent competition, and plant growth. Ecosystem effects and...
