One species, the ricebrownplanthopper, is among the most economically important pests inAsia.In past decades, government policies encouraged the control ofriceplanthoppers with synthetic pesticides, a tactic which promotedinsecticide resistance and often led to the pesticide-inducedresurgence of pest populations. To deter planthopper outbreaks, amore ecologically sound management strategy is being implemented, onebased on a thorough investigation of population dynamics, naturalenemies, and the genetics of host plant and insecticide adaptation.In the natural habitats of North America and Europe, scientists havealso used planthoppers as model organisms to test ecological andevolutionary theory. The consequence of these diverse studies is anextremely scattered literature on planthoppers that has never beensynthesized from an ecological perspective. This volume summarizeswhat is known about planthopper ecology and biological control. Ittakes a theoretical approach yet is deeply concerned with theapplication of theory to the practical problems of pest management. | 出版日期 | Book 1994 | 关键词 | Fitness; adaptation; biology; ecology; evolution; genetics; insect; migration; nutrition; pesticides; populati | 版次 | 1 | doi | https://doi.org/10.1007/978-1-4615-2395-6 | isbn_softcover | 978-1-4613-6015-5 | isbn_ebook | 978-1-4615-2395-6 | copyright | Springer Science+Business Media Dordrecht 1994 |
