This book aims to integrate the new approaches and technologies with traditional and well-proven methods. It provides a critical analysis and evaluation of methods available, through reference to general principles, but emphasis is also placed on providing detailed descriptions of methods and their application.

This is the first book to provide a comprehensive analysis for both the student and specialist of the emerging field of "immunoentomology".

This book provides a general scientific introduction to the termites, including their biology, behaviour, pest status and control. Commonly used ecological and laboratory techniques are described in appendices. There has been no such general book published for many years and so this title will fill a definite gap in the market.

This book, an initiative of the IACR/ADAS/Universities Cereal Root Pathology Group, provides an up-to-date review of the practical aspects of take-all research. The book concentrates on Europe and this regional theme is developed through comparisons with approaches used in, for example, North America and Australia.

Many soilborne diseases are stress related and it is in the tropics where crop growth is particularly limited by environmental stress, predisposing crops to infection by soilborne pathogens. There is thus a great need for information on soilborne diseases of crops in the tropics.

This book is the first in a set of four providing a series on controlled reproduction in farm animals. Buffaloes, goats, deer and camelids have been added to the species covered by the series compared to the previous book. All volumes provide comprehensive reference lists and are fully up-to-date. This first volume focuses on cattle and buffaloes.

Basic scientific research in recent years has provided a better understanding of plant regeneration, genetics, growth and development. This has led to the development of technologies which can significantly improve ornamental species. This book reviews recent advances in the biotechnology of ornamentals.

In this book the biology of grasses is illustrated by many different grass genera and species, drawn from both temperate and tropical zones.

This work discusses the latest work in Rice Research in Asian countries and makes suggestions on future progression and rice research priorities.

This book represents an invaluable resource for all parasitologists. Not only is it an up- to-date summary of research, but it is also a thought provoking look at the future.

This book focuses on recent progress in our understanding of the genetics and molecular biology of soybean and provides a broad review of the subject, from genome diversity to transformation and integration of desired genes using current technologies.

The present volume was commissioned by the Group and is intended to help scientists and regulators to conceptualize the major issues underlying biological safety as well as to understand how these affect policies to regulate biotechnology.

It was to fill this gap that the International Plant Genetic Resources Institute (IPGRI), together with FAO, IUCN and UNEP, cooperated to produce this book. The volume is a comprehensive reference work and is aimed at both new and experienced collectors as well as those with a general interest in plant genetics, breeding and biodiversity.

This book, a collection of refereed papers from the First International Congress of the European Society for Soil Conservation, covers the assessment, prediction and modelling of soil degradation, and the strategies used to combat the problem.
