Sommario/riassunto: In light of the increasing danger to the environment and human health posed by chemical pesticides, and the apparent glee with which pests rush to become resistant to every new poison, a team of scientists and agriculturists advocates a pest management approach that promotes both agricultural production and a balanced ecosystem by incorporating ecosystem processes, biological organisms, products, cultivars, and cultural controls. They emphasize the importance of creating an information base and the procedure for integrating the approach into mainstream agriculture. Annotation copyright by Book News, Inc., Portland, OR
