Ecologically-based Integrated Pest Management

Presents a series of review chapters on ecologically-based IPM.

Integrated pest management (IPM) is a sustainable approach to manage pests through biological, cultural, physical and chemical means in order to minimize economic and environmental injury caused by such pests. Any comprehensive IPM programme requires an understanding of the ecological relationships between crops, pests, natural enemies and the environment.

Topics covered in this book range from the ecological effects of chemical control practices to the ecology of predator-prey and parasitoid-host systems.
