Inhaltsangabe

Different termite pests require different control methods, and not all termite species are pests. Termites, however, are notoriously difficult to identify. Foraging and infesting populations associated with agricultural and forestry crops consist almost entirely of worker castes, while until recently these termites could be identified only by their soldier and adult castes. The author's pioneering work provided the first features for identifying worker castes. This book provides a key to the worker castes of all the genera of termites found in soils from Africa and the Middle East, together with a full set of detailed descriptions, accompanied by illustrations of their most important features. Anyone with a working knowledge of insect anatomy will be able to identify termites associated with crop damage; the book is essential for workers in crop protection and entomology.
