Natural Enemies An Introduction to Biological Control

Natural Enemies gives a thorough grounding in the biological control of arthropods, vertebrates, weeds and plant pathogens using natural enemies. Intended for undergraduate students with little or no background in the field, it explores the reasons for using biological control, the major strategies for the use of natural enemies, and how biological control can be integrated with other types of pest management. Addressing the issues of safety and non-target effects, the ecological relationships that make control by natural enemies possible are emphasised, making this a fully-rounded introduction for any student.Hajek, Ann E. is the author of 'Natural Enemies An Introduction to Biological Control', published 2004 under ISBN 9780521653855 and ISBN 0521653851.
