This book is the first to integrate biological control into a conceptual framework - ecostacking - uniting all aspects of biological control and ecosystem services. In 2018 the "First International Congress of Biological Control" was organised and held in Beijing, China. The cha…
This book discusses the constraints on biological control ranging from the difficulty of convincing growers that they should infest their crops artificially to the effect of cultural techniques.
This book contains 10 chapters addressing the economic analyses of integrated management of pests in crops, animals and humans. The economic evaluation that can identify which factors in the IPM system are most important in their impact on the comparison of costs and benefits ar…

This is the first book to bring economists and applied entomologists together to make the case for better integrated pest management strategies in crops based on economic arguments and analyses.
This volume examines current pest control strategies, introduces new alternatives for pest control in the interior West, and documents successful integrated pest management programs from across the nation. The contributors include leaders in alternative pest control research, re…
Until the 1980s, global increases in food production exceeded the concomitant growth of human populations. However, progressively agriculture is becoming unable to meet the world-wide per capita needs for food. Unless there is major international cooperation in addressing the pr…
