Buch. Zustand: Neu. Druck auf Anfrage Neuware - Printed after ordering - This comprehensive volume explores sustainable crop protection through the intricate relationships between plants, their chemistry, and microbial communities. It presents advances in understanding plant defense mechanisms against insect pests, offering a ro…admap toward reducing chemical pesticide dependence.The book examines the dual defense systems plants employ against insect pests. It explores how secondary metabolites, including alkaloids, terpenoids, and flavonoids, function as natural deterrents while attracting beneficial organisms like parasitoids and pollinators. It also investigates herbivore-associated bacteria in plant-insect interactions, revealing how host plants shape gut bacterial communities of damaging insects such as aphids, beetles, weevils, and bugs.Unlike conventional texts treating plant chemistry and microbiology separately, this volume integrates both perspectives for a holistic understanding of crop immunity. It bridges fundamental plant science and practical applications, demonstrating how specialized metabolism and phytomicrobiomes work together to create resilient agricultural systems. The focus on symbiotic relationships and their manipulation for pest suppression represents a paradigm shift in sustainable agriculture.Readers will discover how secondary metabolic compounds provide natural protection against serious insect pests and the mechanisms by which plants influence insect gut bacteria. The book presents strategies for enhancing crop resistance through manipulation of plant secondary metabolism, along with practical applications of phytomicrobiomes for improving soil health, plant vigor, and pest suppression. It also addresses the ecological roles of beneficial organisms in creating balanced agricultural ecosystems.This reference serves academics and researchers in entomology, plant science, and agricultural biotechnology seeking cutting-edge knowledge for sustainable pest management. Educators will find it valuable for teaching advanced concepts in plant defense mechanisms, chemical ecology, and integrated pest management at graduate and postgraduate levels. Agricultural practitioners, extension specialists, and policymakers will discover evidence-based approaches to reducing pesticide side effects while maintaining productive farming systems that protect human health, animals, and beneficial insects like bees.
