Description

Designed as a real tool for observation and reasoning, this new edition "Auxiliaries of Cultures" is an essential work for any user wishing to design integrated crop production systems optimizing pest regulation by auxiliaries and respecting biodiversity on a daily basis. From knowledge to practical implementation in the field of economically viable integrated crop protection and promoting the action of naturally present or introduced auxiliaries. The knowledge and experiments to valorize crop auxiliaries are growing, and producers' interest in functional biodiversity is increasing. Bringing together the expertise of entomologists, agronomists, and experts from agricultural technical institutes and/or research institutes, Acta-the agricultural technical institutes provide a synthesis of knowledge and methods to identify, preserve, and promote crop auxiliaries. Completely revised and enriched, this 4th edition covers the main French crops (cereals, vegetable and fruit crops, vineyards, ornamental crops). It is a unique reference for observation and reasoning assistance. The book includes 3 parts: A precise and accessible description of the major crop auxiliary families (biology, ecology, and potential for pest regulation illustrated by quality diagrams and photographs) - Observation and inventory methods for auxiliaries in the field (summary tables facilitate technical choices) - The agronomic interest of these auxiliaries for the main French crops and concrete illustrations of the comparative evolution of pests and auxiliaries in different crops: aphids on wheat, pest-auxiliary groups on rapeseed, vineyards, apple trees, and ornamental crops under cover. This guide follows in the footsteps of the reference works on auxiliaries published by Acta for over 30 years and widely recognized by agricultural professionals. This book is aimed at all those involved in crop protection: producers, agricultural advisors, students wishing to deepen their theoretical and practical knowledge of regulatory auxiliaries.
