註釋

This guide is designed to familiarize the grower, pest manager, and others with some of the important arthropod natural enemies in southwestern agroecosystems. The ability to identify which insects are present in fields and to understand their roles in the system can help the pest manager develop an integrated pest management (IPM) plan that considers and incorporates these beneficial species into their decision making process. Natural enemy conservation is central to the efficient and economic management of arthropod pests.Assembled by experts from Cooperative Extension and USDA in four states and complete with diagnostic tips and full color photography, this field guide should be useful to any student of natural enemies and IPM, especially in the arid and semi-arid regions of Arizona, southern California, New Mexico, West Texas, the Southern Plains of Texas, and the northern regions of Mexico in Baja California, Sonora, and Chihuahua.
