The book presents a chronology of events of
B. tabaci
and geminiviruses, and an overview within the Caribbean and Latin America. The pathosystems involving
Tomato yellow leaf curl virus
,
Cotton leaf curl virus
and the cassava mosaic viruses are discussed. Data is presented on amino acid concentrations influencing
and thus serves the basis for holidic diets. The essential molecular techniques for
identification and classification are included with factors to consider for appropriate applications; an essential working guide for graduate students and researchers in the molecular field. Excellent photos portray symptoms of geminivirus-infecting crops: tomato, cotton, cassava, legumes and cucurbits; an important guide for researchers and growers. The novel insecticides, their mode of action and specificity; emphasize the applications of these within IPM programs.
