Biodiversity offers great potential for managing insect pests. It
provides resistance genes and anti-insect compounds; a huge range
of predatory and parasitic natural enemies of pests; and community
ecology-level effects operating at the local and landscape scales
to check pest build-up. This book brings together world leaders in
theoretical, methodological and applied aspects to provide a
comprehensive treatment of this fast-moving field.
Chapter authors from Europe, Asia, Africa, Australasia and the
Americas ensure a truly international scope. Topics range from
scientific principles, innovative research methods, ecological
economics and effective communication to farmers, as well as case
studies of successful use of biodiversity-based pest management
some of which extend over millions of hectares or are enshrined as
government policy.
Written to be accessible to advanced undergraduates whilst also
stimulating the seasoned researcher, this work will help unlock the
power of biodiversity to deliver sustainable insect pest
management.
