Handbook of Agricultural Entomology by Helmut van Emden is a landmark publication for students and practitioners of entomology applied to agriculture and horticulture. It can be used as a reference and as a general textbook. The book opens with a general introduction to entomology and includes coverage of the major insects (and mites) that cause harm to crops, livestock and humans. The important beneficial species are also included. Organisms are described in a classification of insect Orders and Families. The emphasis is on morphological characters of major taxonomic divisions, “spot characters” for the recognition of Families, and the life histories, damage symptoms and economic importance of the various pest species. The book is beautifully illustrated in full colour with more than 400 figures showing both the organisms and the damage caused to plants with diagnostic characters indicated by arrows. Coverage is world-wide and includes much material stemming from the vast personal experience of the author.

An authoritative and thorough resource, "A Textbook of Applied Entomology" explores the intriguing realm of insects and how they interact with people, plants, and the environment. This textbook is an essential resource for entomology students, researchers, and professionals due to its clear and precise writing. At its outset, the book provides a thorough grounding in entomological fundamentals, covering topics such as the anatomy, physiology, behaviour, and ecology of insects. The astonishing variety of insect life is laid bare to the reader, who also learns about the evolutionary changes that have made it possible for insects to survive in almost every environment on the planet. "A Textbook of Applied Entomology" expands upon this foundational knowledge by delving into the many real-world fields that make use of entomology. This book delves into the many ways in which insects impact human culture and the natural world, including their use in agriculture, medicine, forensics, and urban areas. The textbook's focus on practical entomology is one of its strongest points. In this book, readers will discover how entomological research is helping with real-world problems including sustainable agriculture, pest control, disease prevention, and biodiversity conservation. Readers will acquire the knowledge and abilities necessary to address difficult problems in entomology via the use of case studies, examples, and practical activities.

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.
