Technology, Engineering & AgricultureJune 2017Aphids as Crop Pests
by Helmut F van Emden, Richard Harrington
Aphids are among the major global pest groups, causing serious economic damage to many food and commodity crops in most parts of the world. This revision and update of the well-received first edition published ten years ago reflects the expansion of research in genomics, endosymbionts and semiochemicals, as well as the shift from control of aphids with insecticides to a more integrated approach imposed by increasing resistance in the aphids and government restrictions on pesticides. The book remains a comprehensive and up-to-date reference work on the biology of aphids, the various methods of controlling them and the progress of integrated pest management as illustrated by ten case histories. Helmut van Emden is Emeritus Professor of Horticulture at the University of Reading, UK. He has researched on aphids for over 50 years and has wide international experience, including in the tropics. Richard Harrington retired in 2015 as Head of the Rothamsted Insect Survey, with which he worked for 36 years on aphid monitoring and forecasting. He led the EU project "EXAMINE" (Exploitation of Aphid Monitoring In Europe) which brought together colleagues involved in aphid monitoring throughout Europe and beyond. ; A comprehensive reference on the biology and management of aphids occurring in crops, this new edition reflects the expansion of genomic research, semiochemicals and endosymbionts, and the shift away from purely chemical control towards more integrated methods. ; -: Preface to the First Edition -: Preface to the Second Edition 1: Taxonomic Issues 2: Aphid Genomics and its Contribution to Understanding Aphids as Crop Pests 3: Conventional Molecular Markers and Genomics Tools 4: Life Cycles and Polyphenism 5: Growth and Development 6: Nutrition and Symbiosis 7: Aphids and Stress 8: Chemical Ecology 9: Host-Plant Selection and Feeding 10: Aphid Movement: Process and Consequences 11: Predators, Parasitoids and Pathogens 12: Population Dynamics: Cycles and Patterns 13: Aphid Population Dynamics: From Fields to Landscapes 14: Feeding Injury 15: Transmission of Plant Viruses 16: Monitoring and Forecasting 17: Decision Support Systems 18: Chemical Control 19: Insecticide Resistance 20: Biological Control 21: Cultural Control 22: Host-Plant Resistance 23: Integrated Pest Management and Introduction to IPM Case Studies 24: IPM Case Studies: Grain 25: IPM Case Studies: Sorghum 26: IPM Case Studies: Leafy Salad Crops 27: IPM Case Studies: Brassicas 28: IPM Case Studies: Cucurbits 29: IPM Case Studies: Seed Potato 30: IPM Case Studies: Cotton 31: IPM Case Studies: Berry Crops 32: IPM Case Studies: Deciduous Fruit Tree Aphids 33: IPM Case Studies: Tropical and Subtropical Fruit Trees

Insects (entomology)July 2007Aphids as Crop Pests
by Edited by Dr Helmut F van Emden, Dr Richard Harrington
Aphids represent one of the world's major insect pests, causing serious economic damage to a range of temperate and tropical crops. These range from grain crops and brassicas to potato, cotton, vegetable and fruit crops.This book provides a definitive reference volume on the biology of aphids, their pest status, and how to control them. It includes approximately 30 specially commissioned chapters from world experts, principally from Europe and North America. Topics covered range from host selection and feeding to movement and dispersal, and from insecticide resistance to chemical, cultural and biological control methods. There are also several case study chapters, on integrated pest management in specific crops.

January 2016Helmut Qualtinger liest »Mein Kampf«
by Helmut Qualtinger
Siebzig Jahre nach dem Tod Adolf Hitlers wird sein autobiografisches Pamphlet »Mein Kampf« ab Januar 2016 wieder auf dem Buchmarkt verfügbar sein. Die Schrift, die 1924 entstand und anschließend in zwei Teilen veröffentlicht wurde, fand bis 1945 millionenfache Verbreitung, das Regime schenkte sie beispielsweise frisch Vermählten zur Hochzeit. Dennoch gilt sie, so zumindest die Rechtfertigungsformel nach Kriegsende, als der am wenigsten gelesene Bestseller der deutschen Geschichte. Der große österreichische Kabarettist Helmut Qualtinger hat das Buch nicht nur gelesen, sondern in den siebziger Jahren öffentlich rezitiert. Bereits 1961 hatte Qualtinger mit seinem Ein-Personen-Stück »Der Herr Karl« das Verleugnen von Antisemitismus und Opportunismus thematisiert und heftige Kontroversen ausgelöst. Auch die Lesung von »Mein Kampf« war eine Provokation. Indem Qualtinger zwischen Sachlichkeit und schriller Hysterie changiert, entlarvt er den menschenverachtenden Größenwahn des Diktators.
