Techniques for Evaluating Insect Resistance in Crop Plants

TRAMA

This comprehensive book is an illustrated volume providing detailed discussions for all plant genera regarding techniques developed to evaluate plant resistance to insects. The authors systematically discuss techniques used to evaluate different types of insect behaviour and plant morphological and phytochemical factors responsible for plant resistance and susceptibility to insects.

NOTE EDITORE

This comprehensive book is the first illustrated volume to provide detailed discussions of all plant genera regarding techniques developed to evaluate plant resistance to insects. Many of the book's references have never before appeared in a volume on this subject. The authors systematically discuss techniques used to evaluate different types of insect behavior and plant morphological and phytochemical factors responsible for plant resistance and susceptibility to insects.
