Agricultural entomology is a fascinating field of study that explores into the complex relationships between insects and agriculture. This branch of entomology focuses on understanding the insects that impact crops, both as pests and as beneficial organisms. By investigating their behavior, ecology, and interactions, agricultural entomologists aim to develop effective strategies for pest control and crop protection. The field of agricultural entomology covers a wide range of research topics and applications. The book encompasses a diverse array of studies, including investigations into the survival and feeding behavior of specific insect species on common cover crops in citrus orchards, the cold tolerance of invasive lace bugs, and the population dynamics of kudzu bugs and their parasitoids in the southeastern USA. It also explores into the critical role of wild bumblebees in the pollination of Irish faba beans and explores the effectiveness of light spectra blocking films in reducing populations of western flower thrips in strawberry crops. The book will be of immense beneficial to agricultural professionals, entomologists, researchers, and students interested in the intersection of insects and agriculture. Farmers and agricultural advisors will find valuable insights and practical recommendations for managing insect pests and promoting beneficial insects on their farms. Additionally, the book caters to academics and scientists seeking in-depth knowledge and the latest research findings in agricultural entomology
