Agricultural Acarology (eBook, PDF)

Introduction to Integrated Mite Management

• Format: PDF

Produktbeschreibung

The first comprehensive book on pest mites and beneficial mites in agricultural systems, this timely work covers the basic biology, behavior, and ecology of key mite pests and of their important natural enemies. It emphasizes the appropriate use of diverse control tactics for managing pest mites, including biological and other ecologically sound strategies, and discusses their relative advantages and limitations. Written by a globally prominent entomologist, it instructs in taxonomic discrimination between mites and other arthropods and provides the necessary training to effectively work with mites of agricultural importance.
