Críticas:

"The first chapters of this book provide the basic biology, structure and behavior of thrips, particularly pest species. Chapters 7-12 concentrate on population biology and ecology. The articles pertaining to worldwide IPM of thrips, namely Integrated Pest Management in Field Crops, Tree Crops, Glasshouses, and Chemical Control, reflect the state of the art." --IPM Practitioner "Thrips as Crop Pests is a compendium of 18 chapters on basic biology, research methods, and management of thrips, those minute, haplodiploid, mostly plant-feeding insects that are useful for addressing fundamental questions in biology, but extremely injurious to a tremendous diversity of crops and trees worldwide. . . . Lewis has chosen the contributors wisely, as the chapters are consistently of high quality, comprehensive, and authoritative. . . . This book should be considered essential for all workers studying the biology and management of thrips. Its value rests in drawing together fecund, diverse and obscure literature, which will make the job of studying thrips much easier, more productive, and perhaps more collaborative for many years ahead."--The Quarterly Review of Biology "The first chapters of this book provide the basic biology, structure and behavior of thrips, particularly pest species.

Reseña del editor:

Thrips have recently surged to prominence as insect pests of field, plantation and glasshouse crops in many countries, associated with increased international trade in fresh vegetables, fruit, flowers and plant propagation material. They can cause direct feeding damage to the aerial parts of plants, resulting in yield loss and spoilage, and some are vectors of destructive plant viruses. Their minute size and secretive habits make them particularly difficult to detect and control. This book, containing contributions from several world authorities from Europe, the USA and Asia, is the most comprehensive treatise on thrips as crop pests ever to be published. It brings together a vast amount of modern work set against a wealth of background knowledge, covering basic biology, ecology, applied science and pest control. The result is a book indispensable for agricultural advisers and growers concerned with thrips pests, and a unique reference source and stimulus for research entomologists studying these intriguing insects.
