New Directions in Biological Control
註釋This volume reviews the state of the art in biological control of insect pests, mites, nematodes, plant pathogens, and weeds in agricultural production. The proceedings of a 1989 UCLA colloquium, New Directions in Biological Control brings together a distinguished group of specialists from the fields of entomology, plant pathology, nematology, and weed science with the goal of assessing current research in biological control, identifying impediments to use of this pest and disease suppression tactic, and pointing the way for future research. With biological control assuming ever greater urgency, owing to widespread dissatisfaction with chemical pesticides and rapid advances in biotechnology, this text offers a timely and up-to-date discussion of crucial issues in the field.
