AlbakiReads Editorial

Integrated pest management across Southern Africa

Minette Karsten’s edited volume surveys integrated pest management (IPM) in a Southern African agricultural context, linking project design and decision-making with research, field experience and selected case studies. Its coverage spans cultural and physical methods, behavioural and biological controls, insecticide resistance management, and biosecurity. The book also considers the ecosystem services insects provide in agro-ecosystems, placing pest control alongside wider questions of crop protection and environmental impact. Together, these topics map IPM as a field involving both practical interventions and broader agricultural concerns.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • People working in agricultural sustainability, food security or crop protection.
  • Readers studying applied entomology or pest management in Southern Africa.
  • Practitioners seeking an overview of IPM methods and case studies.

Integrated pest management (IPM), is a sustainable crop protection strategy to ensure pre-harvest control of invertebrate (mainly insect) pests, whilst seeking to minimise negative environment or ecosystem impacts, and improve human health.This book represents all aspects of IPM in southern Africa, from designing projects to implementing decisions, and including research, field experience and selected case studies. This book will address themes such as basic IPM principles, cultural and physical control methods, behavioural control methods, biological control, insecticide resistance management, ecosystem services provided by insects in agro-ecosystems and biosecurity. The book is especially relevant to those working in areas of agricultural sustainability, food security, applied entomology, pest management and crop protection.
