Orapa. 330 $aWeeds are a major constraint to agricultural production, particularly in the developing world. Cost-efficient biological control is a self-sustaining way to reduce this problem, and produces fewer non-target effects than chemical methods, which can cause serious damage to the environment. This book covers the origin, distribution, and ecology of twenty model invasive weed species, which occur in habitats from tropical to temperate to aquatic. Sustainable biological control of each weed using one or more arthropods is discussed. The aim is to provide ecological management models for use across the tropical world, and to assist in the assessment of potential risks to native and economic plants. This is a valuable resource for scientists and policy makers concerned with the biological control of invasive tropical plants. 606 $aWeeds$xBiological control$zTropics 606 $aInvasive plants$xBiological control$zTropics 606 $aPhytophagous insects$zTropics 606 $aInsects as biological pest control agents$zTropics 615 0$aWeeds$xBiological control 615 0$aInvasive plants$xBiological control 615 0$aPhytophagous insects 615 0$aInsects as biological pest control agents 676 $a632/.5 702 $aMuniappan$b R. 702 $aReddy$b Gadi V.
