This volume is a revision of Biological Control by R. van den Bosch
and P. S. Messenger, originally published by Intext Publishers. In
the revision, I have attempted to keep the original theme, and to
update it with current research findings and new chapters or
sections on insect pathology, microbial control of weeds and plant
pathogens, population dynamics, integrated pest management, and
economics. The book was written as an undergraduate text, and not
as a complete review of the subject area. Various more comprehen
sive volumes have been written to serve as handbooks for the
experts. This book is designed to provide a concise overview of the
complex and valuable field of biological control and to show the
relationships to the developing concepts of integrated pest
management. Population regulation of pests by natural enemies is
the major theme of the book, but other biological methods of pest
control are also discussed. The chapter on population dynamics
assumes a precalculus-level knowledge of mathematics. Author names
of species are listed only once in the text, but all are listed in
the Appendix. Any errors or omissions in this volume are my sole
responsibility. A. P. Gutierrez Professor of Entomology Division of
Biological Control University of California, Berkeley vii
Acknowledgments Very special thanks must be given to my colleagues,
Professors C. B. Huffaker and L. E. Caltagirone, for the very
thorough review they provided and for the many positive suggestions
they gave. Dr."
