Completely revised and updated, this edition of The Manual of Biocontrol Agents contains 452 detailed entries of biocontrol agents used in the production of 2,000 commercial products. It includes: 149 micro-organisms; 89 natural products; 140 macro-organisms; and 74 semiochemicals. Although different in style, this publication is complementary to The Pesticide Manual--now in its 15th edition--and, where appropriate, entries are cross referenced. All those involved in the practice, administration, regulation of or educational fields in organic or conventional crop protection and environmental safety will find this a definitive source of global biocontrol information.
