Its seven chapters cover rational chemical control and the use of selective insecticides Using material obtained from both direct experience and research work, this book provides a valuable, practical tool for managers, elected representatives, teachers and students interested in the development of rural areas.

Starting from administrative decisions and current practice, the authors work back to the socioeconomic and political context which brought them about and which, little by little, have modified the rural environment and agricultural activities. The action of herbicides is dependent on a range of factors involving the target plant, climate, spraying techniques and, in certain cases, tank-mix adjuvants.

The book lists these factors, explaining their mechanisms of action and effects. The doubly green revolution set out to increase production without reducing environmental potential or biodiversity and to alleviate poverty and food insecurity while respecting the conditions for economic and social viability and equity. This book, half way between science and art, is comprised of a hundred insect drawings, chosen mainly from INRA artists' works. The insect's scientific name is given on each plate and at the end of the book a more complete key offers information on the identity of the specimen, the drawing technics used and the author's name.

This critical analysis of the different aspects of the value of water is based on an original approach to the international literature: Policy makers will then be able to give their willingness to pay for improvements in the quality of water and its environment. Starting out with four major themes - consumers, institutions, competition and management - this book highlights what is at stake today in the agro-food industry from the economic point of view.

The authors, specialists in economics, sociology The history of cocoa production worldwide mirrors that of the migration of millions of men and women searching for land on which to grow brown gold. Such land is almost always covered in tropical forest. The history of cocoa is therefore also that This is an in-depth review of what agricultural research has done for development in West and central Africa.

The blanket adoption of innovations proposed by agricultural research, outside agroindustrial plantations, is still a rare occurrence. Traditional animal breeds carry a part of the biological and cultural information which represents the genetic heritage. These breeds must therefore be conserved.

This book analyses the diversity of the conservation programmes used, nationally, regionally and locally and the possibility of improving these "local" breeds in different production strategies.
