Fungus or pests?
Fungus and pests are both common problems in gardens and can cause damage to plants. Fungus typically appears as powdery mildew, mold, or rot on leaves and stems, while pests can be insects like aphids, caterpillars, or beetles. To determine whether you have a fungus or pest problem, closely inspect the affected plants for signs of damage and the presence of insects. Additionally, consult with a local gardening expert or extension service for guidance on identifying and treating the issue.

Are these pests?
Yes, the insects in the image are pests. Pests are organisms that cause damage or nuisance to crops, livestock, or humans. In this case, the insects are damaging the plants by feeding on them, which can reduce crop yields and impact plant health. Therefore, they are considered pests that need to be managed to protect the plants.

Encyclopedia of Scale Insect Pests
Scale insects feed on plant juices and can easily be transported to new countries on live plants.They sometimes become invasive pests, costing billions of dollars in damage to crops worldwide annually, and farmers try to control them with toxic pesticides, risking environmental damage.Fortunately, scale insects are highly susceptible to control by natural enemies so biological control is possible.They have unique genetic systems, unusual metamorphosis, a broad spectrum of essential symbionts, and some are sources of commercial products like red dyes, shellac and wax.There is, therefore, wide interest in these unusual, destructive, beneficial, and abundant insects.The Encyclopedia of Scale Insect Pests is the most comprehensive work on worldwide scale insect pests, providing detailed coverage of the most important species (230 species in 26 families, 36% of the scale insect pest species known).Advice is provided on collection, preservation, slide-mounting, vouchering, and labelling of specimens, fully illustrated with colour photographs, diagrams and drawings.Pest species are presented in two informal groups of families, the 'primitive' Archaeococcoids followed by the more 'advanced' Neococcoids, covered in phylogenetic order.Each family is illustrated and diagnosed based on features of live and slide-mounted specimens, with information on numbers of genera and species, main hosts, distribution, and biology.For the important pest species, coverage includes information on the morphology of live and slide-mounted specimens, common names, principal synonyms, geographical distribution, plant hosts, plant damage and economic impact, reproductive biology, dispersal, and management strategies including biological, cultural and chemical control, sterile insect techniques, regulatory control, early warning systems and field monitoring.An additional complete list of scale insect pests worldwide is provided, comprising 642 species in 28 scale insect families (about 8% of the 8373 species of living scales known), with information on plant hosts, geographical distribution and validation sources.Beneficial uses of scale insects include sources of red dyes, natural resins and waxes, and agents for invasive weed control, alongside the importance of their honeydew to bees for making honey, and as a food source to other animals.Academic researchers, students, entomologists, pest management officials in agribusiness or government including plant quarantine identifiers, extensionists, farmers, field scientists and ecologists will all benefit from this book.

Pests : How Humans Create Animal Villains
An engrossing and revealing study of why we deem certain animals “pests” and others not—from cats to rats, elephants to pigeons—and what this tells us about our own perceptions, beliefs, and actions, as well as our place in the natural worldA squirrel in the garden.A rat in the wall. A pigeon on the street. Humans have spent so much of our history drawing a hard line between human spaces and wild places.When animals pop up where we don’t expect or want them, we respond with fear, rage, or simple annoyance.It’s no longer an animal. It’s a pest. At the intersection of science, history, and narrative journalism, Pests is not a simple call to look closer at our urban ecosystem.It’s not a natural history of the animals we hate. Instead, this book is about us. It’s about what calling an animal a pest says about people, how we live, and what we want.It’s a story about human nature, and how we categorize the animals in our midst, including bears and coyotes, sparrows and snakes.Pet or pest? In many cases, it’s entirely a question of perspective. Bethany Brookshire’s deeply researched and entirely entertaining book will show readers what there is to venerate in vermin, and help them appreciate how these animals have clawed their way to success as we did everything we could to ensure their failure.In the process, we will learn how the pests that annoy us tell us far more about humanity than they do about the animals themselves.

Advances in Biocontrol of Crop Insect Pests
As a result of increasing consumer and regulatory concern about the environmental impact of synthetic pesticide use, the biocontrol sector has rapidly expanded and continues to diversify in its product offering, with a suggested estimate of over 1700 different biocontrol products now available on the market. Advances in biocontrol of crop insect pests provides a detailed overview of some of the key developments in this area, including the techniques used to disrupt insect pest behaviour, such as the use of semiochemicals and genetic engineering.The book also reviews recent advances in understanding plant defences against insect pest attacks and how these defences can be improved to limit crop damage and yield. Through its exploration of the recent advances in the biocontrol sector, the book highlights the potential of novel biocontrol agents to reduce agriculture’s environmental impact, whilst also considering the key formulation issues and regulatory challenges that may arise during the product development stage.
