Insect Behavior as a Basis for Developing Control Measures Against Pests of Field Crops and Forests

摘要

This work is a collection of the papers presented at the All-Union symposium on Insect Behavior held in Kiev, March 26-29, 1974. The behavior of insects, in particular those which are pests of field crops and those which can be used in the biological control of such pests, was the topic discussed at this symposium. The special features of insect behavior relating to population density, rhythm of metabolic activity, photoperiodicity, and the special characteristics of food specialization are some of the aspects which must be considered in developing measures for pest control.
