Arthropod Management in Vineyards: : Pests, Approaches, and Future Directions

"Provides a state-of-the-science overview of arthropods affecting grape production around the world. Vineyard pest management is a dynamic and evolving field, and the contributed chapters provide insights into arthropods that limit this important crop and its products. Written by international experts from the major grape-growing regions, it provides a global overview of arthropods affecting vines and the novel strategies being used to prevent economic losses, including invasive pests affecting viticulture. The book contains reviews of the theoretical basis of integrated pest management, multiple chapters on biological control, current status of chemical control, as well as in-depth and well-illustrated reviews of the major arthropod pests affecting grape production and how they are being managed worldwide. This text will serve as a primary resource for applied entomologists, students, growers, and consultants with interests at the intersection of viticulture and applied entomology"--Back cover Front Matter....Pages i-xvi Principles of Arthropod Pest Management in Vineyards....Pages 1-16 Pest Thresholds: Their Development and Use in Vineyards for Arthropod Management....Pages 17-36 Modeling Arthropods to Support IPM in Vineyards....Pages 37-52 Pesticides for Arthropod Control in Vineyards....Pages 53-90 Biological Control of Arthropods and Its Application in Vineyards....Pages 91-117 Chemical Ecology Providing Novel Strategies Against Vineyard Pests in Australia....Pages 119-138 Enhancing Ecosystem Services in Australasian Vineyards for Sustainability and Profit....Pages 139-157 Habitat Diversity at the Field and Landscape Level: Conservation Biological Control Research in California Viticulture....Pages 159-189 Management of Phytophagous Mites in European Vineyards....Pages 191-217 A Holistic Approach to Future Management of Grapevine Phylloxera....Pages 219-251 Leafhoppers and Planthoppers: Their Bionomics, Pathogen Transmission and Management in Vineyards....Pages 253-270 Biology and Management of Mealybugs in Vineyards....Pages 271-307 Leaf-Eating Lepidoptera in North American Vineyards....Pages 309-338 Grape Berry Moths in Western European Vineyards and Their Recent Movement into the New World....Pages 339-359 Biology and Management of Grape Berry Moth in North American Vineyard Ecosystems....Pages 361-381 Grape Root Borer....Pages 383-402 Japanese Beetle and Other Coleoptera Feeding on Grapevines in Eastern North America....Pages 403-429 Ecological Management of Ants in Vineyards of the Cape Floristic Region Biodiversity Hotspot, South Africa....Pages 431-447 Threatening the Harvest: The Threat from Three Invasive Insects in Late Season Vineyards....Pages 449-474 Vineyard IPM in a Changing World: Adapting to New Pests, Tactics, and Challenges....Pages 475-484 Back Matter....Pages 485-505 Annotation Provides a state-of-the-science overview of arthropods affecting grape production around the world.
