Biological Control Programmes in Canada, 1981-2000
Readership
Research workers in biological control and pest management
Main Description
This book follows on from a previous volume 'Biological Control Programmes against Insects and Weeds in Canada, 1969-1980' published in 1984. It includes chapters written by well known scientists involved in work on biological control between 1981 and 2000. The work reported provides models that will be applicable in many other countries.
Reviews
"Though the authors discussed the pests predominant in Canada, the book is very usefull to researchers, extension workers and students on biocontrol all over the world as it provides models that can be applicable in other countries as well".
B J Divakar, Indian Journal of Plant Protection
"Every practitioner of biological control and related disciplines should have it on the shelf as an essential reference".
Bulletin of Entomological Research, Kent, October 2002
