This comprehensive collection offers four peer-reviewed reviews on integrated pest management (IPM) in cereal cultivation. In the opening chapter, a holistic approach to IPM is presented, emphasizing the importance of understanding the natural regulation of herbivore and weed populations, as well as natural succession in agricultural wetlands. It further highlights the need for a comprehensive understanding of rice ecosystems to ensure the economic and environmental sustainability of rice production.
The second chapter provides a concise overview of IPM and explores the various control methods available to growers, including biological, cultural, and chemical approaches. It specifically examines the implementation of IPM programs in wheat production, using a case study from New Zealand to showcase a successful example.
The third chapter delves into the key insect pests that affect sorghum crops, their life cycles, and their detrimental impact on crop productivity and performance. It explores the use of IPM programs as a sustainable alternative to controlling pest infestations without relying on insecticides.
The final chapter examines host plant resistance as an ecological approach to managing crop pests. It discusses the process of evaluating resistance based on insect behavior and explores the breeding of rice for resistance to insect pests. Additionally, it considers the constraints and challenges associated with the development and deployment of insect-resistant plant technology.
These reviews provide valuable insights into the latest research and practices in IPM for cereal cultivation, highlighting the importance of integrated approaches, sustainable practices, and the development of resilient crop varieties to address the challenges posed by pests and promote sustainable agricultural systems.
