Book desription: Haworth Food & Agric. Products, 2007. Hardbound. New Book. Hardbound. In a volume treating the microbial control of plant-parasitic nematodes and insects, Saxena (botany, U. of Delhi, India) and Mukerji (retired mycologist and microbial ecologist, U. of Delhi) introduce ten chapters providing an international, integrated pest management perspective on these major agricultural crop threats. Contributing scientists review crop pathogens and the role of biotic factors in disease development in a variety of crops and settings. Given the growing public demand for pesticide-free foods, they discuss biocontrols such as natural predators and green manures as well as bioengineered RNA interference silencing techniques to increase host plant resistance, plus economic considerations in strategy selection.
