Plant based Biotechnology has come to represent a means of mitigating the problems of global food security in the twenty first century. Products and processes in agriculture are increasingly becoming linked to science and cutting edge technology, to enable the engineering of what are in effect, designer plants. One of the most successful, non chemical approaches to pest management and disease control, which seeks a solution in terms of using living organisms to regulate the incidence of pests and and pathogens, providing a `natural control' while still maintaining the biological balance with the ecosystem. This volume, describes the various biological agents used to control insect pests of a variety of crops. Readers may also be interested in Volume 1: Crop diseases, Weeds and Nematodes, published in December 2000, ISBN 0-306-46460-8.

Heliothis ("Bull worm") species are one of the major pests of field crops worldwide, including sorghum, tomatoes, lettuce, and cotton. Pest problems have intensified over the years as the total area given to agricultural host plants has increased. This comprehensive text, written by experienced researchers, assembles biological and ecological research techniques and approaches to Heliothis management: from the fundamental question of defining genetic species to collecting, rearing, and sampling techniques for the construction of life tables; the measurement of predator impact and physiological development; the detection and measurement of behavior, migration, and diapause; population genetics and resistance. Approaches to modelling population dynamics are also explored. This book is intended for beginning research students as well as experienced workers. It will be a valuable reference for entomologists, population ecologists, and agronomists concerned with crop protection.

This book offers comprehensive coverage of all manifestations of resistance in combating infectious diseases and explores advances in antimicrobial resistance in agriculture and their applications in the fight against microbes. It discusses and compares biological, biochemical, and structural aspects of resistance and its evolution. This is a comprehensive tool covering all manifestations of antimicrobial resistance and microbial resistance genes. In addition, it also provides a variety of photographs, diagrams, and tables to help illustrate the material. Novel strategies to combat antimicrobial resistance are also described, emphasizing collaborative measures of control. The underlining molecular mechanisms, which depend not only on the microbe but on the specific drug (target) molecule, are highly diverse and are covered in great detail. Students, researchers, scientists, practitioners, academics, computational biologists, stakeholders, and policymakers can benefit from using Antimicrobial Resistance in Agriculture and its Consequences as a resource that addresses microbial biotechnology, microbiology, ethnopharmacology, toxicology, medicinal plant products, and all disciplines related to antimicrobial research. Features of the book: Covers antimicrobial resistance in agriculture with up-to-date research Includes recent references on each plausible antimicrobial resistance in agriculture Details the possible spread of antibiotic resistance bacteria from animals to humans Provides several perspectives in the resistance flux with modern agricultural practices Describes the public health impact of the use of antibiotics in agriculture Presents cutting-edge research on epigenetics, nanotechnology, and emergent antimicrobial technologies Outlines recent laws and regulatory guidelines in the federal agency, responsibility, and authority
