More About the Book
An introductory section describes the impact
on predator-prey relationships and population
dynamics of host species environments for
arable, orchard and protected plants. The main
sections on pest profiles, beneficial species
and entomopathogens provide a pest
identification guide and concise text dealing
with species characteristics, life cycle,
damage symptoms, plant/pest association and
influence on growing practices. The text is
illustrated throughout by over 300 colour
photographs of the highest quality. The
handbook will be a valuable reference guide
for professional, academic and lay readers –
growers, farmers, consultants, scientists and
students.
