• Sommario/riassunto: Integrated pest management (IPM) is a sustainable approach to manage pests through biological, cultural, physical and chemical means. Comprehensive IPM programme requires an understanding of the ecological relationships between crops, pests, natural enemies and the environment. This book reviews several cases in which ecologically-based IPM was used, and analyses the effectiveness of numerous methods - from the ecological effects of chemical control practices to the ecology of predator-prey and parasitoid-host systems.
