This eye-opening book focuses on the development of techniques to mass-produce reduviid predators and important generalist predators, an endeavor that won't prove sufficient if the cost of commercialization is prohibitive.
Chapter 1 Reduviid: an important Biological Control Agent 1.1. Current scenario of crop damage due to insect attack 1.2. Reduviid in agro-ecosystems 1.3. Other agro-ecosystems 1.4. Reasons for consideration of reduviids in pest control 1.5. Routine methods for laboratory rearing 1.6. Devices used for reduviid mass production 1.7. Constraints in rearing 1.8. Artificial rearing: needs and benefits1.9. Conclusion1.10. Future recommendations Chapter 2 Feeding behaviour against Meridic Artificial diet 2.1. Background for the chapter 2.2. Importance of Rhynocoris marginatus in biological control 2.3. Meridic diet (MD) development 2.4. Feeding Behavioral on meridic diet 2.5. Best Strain selection 2.6.
