Larry Pedigo and Marlin Rice have produced the top pest management textbook on the market for decades. New co-author Rayda Krell has helped bring the book into the twenty-first century. The successful core concepts of the book—understanding pests in their environment and using an ecological approach to combat them—remain as robust as ever. Features that instructors have come to rely on have been retained, including insect diagnostic boxes with detailed information on important species and species groups and an appendix with keys to major insect orders. New material on genetically modified plant species and regional pest technologies complement concepts in basic and applied entomology. Taxonomies and systematics of insects have been updated throughout the book.
Reactions
“This clearly organized, engaging text introduces key facets of insect biology and classification, even for audiences with little previous exposure to the field. While the book contains a good overview of major insect families and a key to the insect orders, its focus is on the theory and practice of pest management as applied ecology, illustrated with compelling examples. It fills an important niche.” — Maggie Douglas, Dickinson College
“I was pleased to see updates of photographs and an updated Classification chapter. The text provides a comprehensive, detailed, and well-structured study of entomology for the pest management student.” — Jeremy Hummel, Dordt University
“The book is still, in my opinion, the best text for management-focused entomology courses, with a nice mix of basic biology and IPM approaches. The addition of Rayda Krell as an author is welcome.” — Jacob Wenger, California State University, Fresno
