This collection of Dr Jürgen Köhl, Dr Willem J. Ravensberg provides a comprehensive coverage of the recent advances in the development of more ecologically balanced biological methods to control plant diseases.
Several IOBC members participated in writing chapters of this book.
An undergraduate and postgraduate textbook covering the key principles, methodologies, approaches and practical examples of insect pest management in agricultural, post harvest systems, horticulture, insect vectors and medical and veterinary entomology.
This book is the first to integrate biological control into a conceptual framework – ecostacking – uniting all aspects of biological control and ecosystem services. In 2018 the “First International Congress of Biological Control” was organised and held in Beijing, China.
The book, written mainly by IOBC-NTRS authors, summarises the history of biocontrol in Latin America.
There are a wealth of text, tables and references about the history of projects, and which were successful and which failed. This will help plan future biocontrol projects.
This book, written by Maria Lodovica Gullino, Ramon Albajes, Philippe C. Nicot, covers pest and disease management of greenhouse crops, providing readers the basic strategies and tactics of integrated control together with its implementation in practice, with case studies with selected crops.
This book, written by George E. Heimpel, Nicholas J. Mills, enhances our understanding of biological control interactions by combining theory and practical application. Using a combination of historical analyses, theoretical models and case studies, with explicit links to invasion biology, the authors cover biological control of insects, weeds, plant pathogens and vertebrate animals.
Understanding invasion biology, and the dynamics of biological control practices, requires a multidisciplinary and unified approach, embracing and integrating all the research tools at our disposal, particularly modern molecular and modelling techniques. This book, written IOBC-WPRS Working Group “Benefits and Risks of Exotic Biological Control Agents”, represents a timely synthesis of current ecological knowledge and research on alien arthropod predators and parasitoids.
The book brings together the latest research on Harmonia axyridis distribution studies to detailed research on intra-guild interactions, possibilities for control and phenotypic plasticity.
