Tritrophic interactions and insect behiviour

Zusatztext

The Green Revolution of the 1960, 1970 and 1980 demonstrated the potential of science and technology to contribute to agricultural development, food security and economic growth in poor and predominantly agrarian countries as well as rich industrial countries.This book reviews the potential for integrating, and thereby strengthening, two insect pest control technologies that have each already made significant contributions to reducing both crop losses and insecticide use in many countries. Several chapters in this book present evidence indicating that it should be possible to integrate using this tri-trophic relationship between plant, herbivore and natural enemy in right way to make important contributions toward the necessary increases in yield, productivity and sustainability.Induced plant responses and their effects on herbivores have been demonstrated across a broad range of plant and animal taxa.
