This book offers a multifaceted yet integrated discussion on two
major applications of biological control: permanent control of
invasive insects and plants at the landscape level and temporary
suppression of both native and exotic pests in farms, tree
plantations, and greenhouses. Written by leading international
experts in the field, the text discusses control of invasive
species and the role of natural enemies in pest management.
This book is essential reading for courses on Invasive Species,
Pest Management, and Crop Protection. It is an invaluable reference
book for biocontrol professionals, restorationists,
agriculturalists, and wildlife biologists.
