Sterile Insect Technique: Principles and Practice in Area-Wide Integrated Pest Management
This second edition includes all aspects of the SIT have been updated and the content considerably expanded. A great variety of subjects is covered, from the history of the SIT to improved prospects for its future application. The major chapters discuss the principles and technical components of applying sterile insects. The four main strategic options in using the SIT suppression, containment, prevention, and eradication with examples of each option are described in detail.

Area-Wide Control Insect Pests. From Research to Field Implementation
Area-wide integrated pest management (AW-IPM) is a coordinated, sustainable and preventive approach that targets entire pest populations. It aims at integrating environment-friendly control measures such as the Sterile Insect Technique, to reduce losses and insecticide use, and to facilitate the expansion of international agricultural trade, while minimizing the further global spread of some major invasive pests.

Sterile Insect Technique. Principles and practice in area-wide integrated pest management
The 28 chapters of this book, written by 50 authors from around the world, review all aspects of the SIT. The book covers a wide variety of topics written from a generic perspective: History and principles of the SIT, Technical components of the SIT, Supportive technologies to improve the SIT, Economic, environmental and management considerations, Application of the SIT, Impact of area-wide IPM programmes that integrate the SIT, and Future development of the SIT.

Biology, History, Threat, Surveillance and Control of the Cactus Moth, Cactoblastis cactorum
Alien invasive insect pests are increasingly threatening agriculture and the environment. In the context of rapidly growing international travel and trade, the potential for moving dangerous pest species to new geographical regions and locations has been increasing. One such species is the cactus moth, Cactoblastis cactorum (Pyralidae). As a result of worldwide increases in opuntia cultivation and increased reliance on opuntia as a source of food, and on income from its products, the invasion by C. cactorum has a potential impact on thousands of subsistence farmers. Furthermore, C. cactorum is considered a serious threat to the high diversity of opuntia species in North America. The sterile insect technique (SIT) is the ideal tool to complement efforts to eliminate beachheads of alien insect invasions. An increased role is foreseen for the use of SIT in suppression of alien invasive species, which will help FAO and IAEA Member States deal with the threat of outbreaks of such pests.

The history of the Joint FAO/IAEA Division of Nuclaer Techniques in Food and Agriculture and its Allied Laboratory
The objective of this book was to write up the history of the Joint Division and its allied laboratory, which celebrated its 30th birthday on 1 October 1994, and to throw light on the Division’s rise from obscurity to distinction. The materials has been compiled on the basis of information available from FAO and IAEA documents. It has not been the intention to present a very detailed description of the individual Sections and laboratory units, but rather to highlight the research undertaken, promote and supported for the benefit of food and agricultural production in the Member States. July 1994, Vienna, Austria.
