Fully revised and updated, this new edition of 'Aphid's on the World's Crops' is the only publication to provide non-specialist workers wherever they are in the world, with an identification guide and an information source on one of the main groups of agriculturally important insects. It incorporates:

* The latest information on the biology and distribution of both major and minor aphid pest species covering 455 species in 130 genera.

* 40 additional crops, bringing the total to almost 300

* More aphid species in the keys

* Approximately 500 new references

It features those aspects of the biology of aphids most relevant to their taxonomy and identification, followed by a crop-oriented illustrated identification guide. It also includes a comprehensive, systematic account of the genera and species of aphids inhabiting crop plants.

Comprehensively written by leading authorities in the world, it includes user-friendly identification keys with many illustrations, a summary of the techniques available for studying aphids, a list of further information sources and a photographic guide to the 150 most economically important species.

It will be a reliable and invaluable reference tool for economic, applied and agricultural entomologists at universities, research institutes and advisory centres throughout the world.
