About The Book

Integrated Pest Management (IPM) is an effective and environmentally sensitive approach to pest management that relies on a combination of common-sense practices. IPM programs use current, comprehensive information on the life cycles of pests and their interaction with the environment. Agricultural crops are of considerable importance to the Maryland economy and also vital to other industries, such as poultry, the leading agricultural enterprise, which relies upon certain field crops for feed and a place for waste management. To ensure profitable production, faculty members with pest management expertise in the Department of Entomology address both short- and long-term solutions to the most important arthropod-related problems facing Maryland agriculture. Management strategies that are environmentally and socially acceptable are developed and implemented to protect the unique environment associated with the Chesapeake and nearby urban areas. This book is intended to provide a clear overview of the principles and practices of pest management and should serve as a useful source of information to the scientists as well as to orchardists and farmers alike.
