Springer Area-Wide Control Of Insect Pests From Research To Field Implementation by M.J.B. Vreysen
Insect pests are becoming a problem of ever-more biblical proportions. This new textbook collates a series of selected papers that attempt to address various fundamental components of area-wide insect pest control. Of special interest are the numerous papers on pilot and operational programs that pay special attention to practical problems encountered during program implementation. It's a compilation of more than 60 papers authored by experts from more than 30 countries._x000D_ _x000D_
