  • 害物整合管理原理
    By 楊秀珠、黃莉欣、許如君、陳秋男

    臺灣自1990年代開始積極推展作物整合管理,但因農藥價格便宜、容易使用,造成農民愈來愈依賴農藥而難以推展;然長期使用農藥引發許多不良影響,如危害非目標生物、農藥殘留影響食安、水源與土壤汙染等,農藥減量議題不斷被提倡,而整合管理被視為解決的良方之一。為有效進行害物整合管理(Integrated Pest Management,簡稱IPM),害物發生前的預防及害物(病蟲草等)診斷為首要技術,再配合合適的防除措施,適時有效降低害物發生,而將不同防除技術整合應用,秉持預防勝於治療的精神,當可達事半功倍之效。本書探討害物整合管理的相關原理,共分為十四章,編排邏輯由淺入深、清楚明瞭。首先幫助讀者建立害物整合管理的大略架構,而後一一說明害物的定義與起源、重要害蟲種類及為害特徵、重要感染性病害之種類與病徵、重要雜草種類與影響、非感染性病害(生理症)之種類與發生、非藥劑防治技術及藥劑防治技術、害物整合管理基本概念、蟲害管理與防治技術、病害管理、雜草管理、害物整合管理之效益評估等。期望能促進害物整合管理在各式農業作物的應用,持續經營永續農業,讓更多人能感受它的益處。
