This second edition of Natural Enemies will give students,
professionals, and anyone wishing to learn the basics of biological
control a fully updated and thorough introduction. The book
discusses the huge diversity of organisms used in the control of
pests, weeds and plant pathogens, and compares the many different
strategies referred to as 'biological control': the introduction of
exotic natural enemies, application of predators, parasitoids, and
microorganisms as biopesticides, and manipulation of the
environment to enhance natural enemy populations. The authors
present the ecological concepts which form the bases of biological
control and discuss recent changes to make biological control safe
for the environment. Case studies are included throughout,
providing in-depth examples of the use of different organisms and
strategies in a variety of ecosystems. A new chapter covers the
current challenges; the impact of climate change, the problem of
invasive species, and how biological control can aid
sustainability.
