Description
This volume is a comprehensive treatment of how the principles of ecology and conservation biology can be used to maximize biological
control.
Conservation Biological Control presents various means to modify or manipulate the environment to enhance the
activities of natural enemies of pests. It establishes a conceptual link between ecology and the agricultural use of agents for biological
control, and discusses both theoretical issues as well as practical management concerns. Certain to be interesting to ecologists and
entomologists, this volume will also appeal to scientists, faculty, researchers and students interested in pest management, horticulture,
plant sciences, and agriculture.
Audience:
Entomologists, agriculturists, plant scientists, faculty, researchers, and graduate students interested in biological control of pests.
Institutions with strong programs in agricultural sciences, crop science, agronomy, entomology, and ecology.
