Insects of cultivated plants and natural pastures in southern Africa
Publisher: Entomological Society of Southern Africa - ISBN 978-0-620-60841-1
Abstract: In essence, “Insects of Cultivated Plants and Natural Pastures in Southern Africa” is a compilation of authoritative accounts prepared by an impressive team of experts, mostly from South Africa, of the insect pests found on 75 types, or related groups, of beneficial plants in this region. Gerhard Prinsloo and Vivienne Uys have directed and coordinated the entire project and, besides their meticulous editing work, they have researched and jointly-authored several of these accounts. The result is a substantial volume comprising 800 pages which triumphantly sets a new and elevated standard for excellence in this field of endeavour. This book is for anyone who has ever wondered about the insects they find on their plants: what are the insects called, what are they doing there, and how best to minimise their damage, if that is really necessary and economically sensible, in the most environmentally responsible way?
