The Integrated pest management manual on pests of economic importance in Ukraine was prepared by the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) Regional Office for Europe and Central Asia (REU), under a regional project of FAO’s Technical Cooperation Programme, aiming at strengthening the capacities of seven countries in the area of plant protection. This manual was developed in the context of the implementation of the activities of the project dedicated to strengthening the national capacities to protect from plant pests some of the most economically important crops in Ukraine. The manual helps in increasing awareness of the readers on the economically important pests in Ukraine, as well as on the methods of their control, taking into account not only the effectiveness of measures undertaken, but also the protection of natural environment and the health of consumers.

Field Crop Arthropod Pests of Economic Importance presents detailed descriptions of the biology and ecology of important arthropod pest of selected global field crops. Standard management options for insect pest control on crops include biological, non-chemical, and chemical approaches. However, because agricultural crops face a wide range of insect pests throughout the year, it can prove difficult to find a simple solution to insect pest control in many, if not most, cropping systems. A whole-farm or integrated pest management approach combines cultural, natural, and chemical controls to maintain insect pest populations below levels that cause economic damage to the crop. This practice requires accurate species identification and thorough knowledge of the biology and ecology of the target organism. Integration and effective use of various control components is often enhanced when the target organism is correctly identified, and its biology and ecology are known. This book provides a key resource toward that identification and understanding. Students and professionals in agronomy, insect detection and survey, and economic entomology will find the book a valuable learning aid and resource tool. - Includes insect synonyms, common names, and geographic distribution - Provides information on natural enemies - Is thoroughly referenced for future research

The second half of the 20th century and the beginning of the 21st century witnessed important changes in ecology, climate and human behaviour that favoured the development of urban pests. Most alarmingly, urban planners now face the dramatic expansion of urban sprawl, in which city suburbs are growing into the natural habitats of ticks, rodents and other pests. Also, many city managers now erroneously assume that pest-borne diseases are relics of the past. All these changes make timely a new analysis of the direct and indirect effects of present-day urban pests on health. Such an analysis should lead to the development of strategies to manage them and reduce the risk of exposure. To this end, WHO invited international experts in various fields - pests, pest-related diseases and pest management - to provide evidence on which to base policies. These experts identified the public health risk posed by various pests and appropriate measures to prevent and control them. This book presents their conclusions and formulates policy options for all levels of decision-making to manage pests and pest-related diseases in the future. [Ed.]

The theoretical and methodological bases of forming strategies for the development of farms on the basis of marketing are highlighted. An assessment of the implemented strategies for the development of farms and their investment orientation in conditions of instability is carried out. The peculiarities of managing the marketing activities of farms during the war and post-war reconstruction are determined. The directions of strategic development of farms in order to ensure their sustainable development are substantiated. The use of the results in research and practice makes it possible to objectively assess the state and prospects of farm development during the war and post-war reconstruction. It is intended for farmers, government officials, scientists, teachers of agricultural education institutions, postgraduates, and students.
