A textbook providing basic data about the crop pests and the damage they inflict throughout the tropics and sub-tropics. Each major pest is illustrated by either a line drawing or a photograph, and sometimes the damage can also be seen. A world distribution map is provided for each species. Control measures tend to be general rather than very specific. Most of the pests are insects and mites, but some nematodes, molluscs, birds and mammals are included.
Pest ecology -- Principles of pest control -- Methods of pest control -- Pest damage to crop plants -- Biological control of crop pests -- Pesticide application -- Pesticides in current use -- Major tropical crop pests -- Major tropical crops and their pest spectra -- General bibliography.
