Beyond IPM: Introduction to the Theory of Holistic Pest Management
About 15 years ago, we asked ourselves why the methods developed by the research institutions for the management of pests were almost not used by small landholder farmers. It seemed obvious to us that conventional pest control –called “Integrated Pest Man

Beyond IPM: Introduction to the Theory of Holistic Pest Management
Sustainability in Plant and Crop Protection Volume 15
Series Editor Aurelio Ciancio, Sezione di Bari, Consiglio Nazionale delle Ricerche Istituto per la Protezione delle Piante, Bari, Italy
The series describes new perspectives recently developed in pest and disease management, based on innovative tools emerging from basic and applied research. The volumes will aim at interested readers involved in plant protection and crop management, for whom soil biodiversity, crop sustainability and, in general, organic approaches are fundamental. Different cropping systems will be treated by researchers involved in cutting edge studies worldwide. A number of basic issues including sustainability, life-cycle assessment, evolution, plant nutrition and organic cropping technologies will provide a common framework, within which different components of the crop production cycle will be focused on. These will range from roots and endophytes to pest and disease control, through the management of soil microbiome and fertility. These issues will be examined at the field and crop levels, including the effects of invasive species and climate changes on agroecosystems. Recent advancements in massive sequencing will represent the basis of dedicated volumes, dealing with transcriptomics and related approaches. They will illustrate the potentials and benefits of extensive DNA and RNA data analyses and studies, for practical purposes in crop protection, disease management and food production. Contributions on any of the above cited topics are welcome. Potential Editors proposing a new volume are requested to contact the Series Responsible Editor and provide a short CV (400 words max) listing a selection of their most significant publications. In order to broaden the base of contributors and avoid redundancies, only one volume per Editor is allowed. Exceptionally, in case of many contributed chapters, a two-issues volume can eventually be considered. More information about this series at http://www.springer.com/series/13031
