About the Book

Palms constitute one of the largest botanical families and include some of the world's most important economic plants. This book reviews the interrelationships between palms and insects, emphasizing the similarities in different world regions. The host plants, distribution and bionomics of representative insects are discussed according to their feeding sites on palms (foliage, flowers, fruits and stems), and their taxonomic groups. Host and distribution records for the most extensively-represented insect families on palms are tabulated. Pest management and field techniques are also discussed.

Review :
"This book certainly could be useful to landscape workers as an excellent reference and as a valuable textbook for advanced courses in insect-plant interactions. The basic information on feeding and morphology can readily be transposed for most plants. It is a book extension entomologists should have in areas of the world in which palms are continually brought in, and problems arise and need diagnoses and recommendations. Insects on Palms certainly covered all maladies I have had to deal with in palms and opened my eyes to many others that could arise."-- "Annals of the Entomological Society of America"
