F.; Perfect, John R.\u003c\/h2\u003e \u003cp\u003ePlanthoppers include some of the most devastating pests of  major agricultural crops throughout the world. One species, the rice  brown  planthopper, is among the most economically important pests in  Asia.  In past decades, government policies encouraged the control of  rice  planthoppers with synthetic pesticides, a tactic which promoted  insecticide resistance and often led to the pesticide-induced  resurgence of pest populations. To deter planthopper outbreaks, a  more ecologically sound management strategy is being implemented, one  based on a thorough investigation of population dynamics, natural  enemies, and the genetics of host plant and insecticide adaptation.  In the natural habitats of North America and Europe, scientists have  also used planthoppers as model organisms to test ecological and  evolutionary theory. The consequence of these diverse studies is an  extremely scattered literature on planthoppers that has never been  synthesized from an ecological perspective. This volume summarizes  what is known about planthopper ecology and biological control. It  takes a theoretical approach yet is deeply concerned with the  application of theory to the practical problems of pest management.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Springer\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 1993-09-30\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Hardcover\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9780412023415\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: 10.1007\/978-1-4615-2395-6\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 235cm x155cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 799\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Springer US","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46312268005516,"sku":"9780412023415","price":296.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9780412023415.jpg?v=1771523121","url":"https:\/\/lateknightbooks.com\/products\/9780412023415","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
