Among these the encounter with international development has perhaps been longer and more intimate than any of the others. Anthropologists have drawn critical attention to the interfaces and social effects of development's discursive regimes but, oddly enough, have paid scant attention to knowledge producers themselves, despite anthropologists being among them.

The purpose of this important book is to examine the development and exploitation (or potential for exploitation) of a range of non-chemical approaches to disease control, with a focus on the need for a greater understanding of crop ecology as the basis for effective disease controlPhytopathogenic microorganismsBiological controlPhytopathogenic microorganismsControlEnvironmental aspectsPlant diseasesPhytopathogenic microorganismsBiological control.Phytopathogenic microorganismsControlEnvironmental aspects.Plant diseases.632.3632.96632/.3Walters Dale519117MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910830780303321Disease control in crops4067772UNINA
