Novel Biotechnologies for Biocontrol Agent Enhancement and Management (eBook, PDF)

Redaktion: Vurro, Maurizio; Gressel, Jonathan

• Format: PDF

Produktbeschreibung

The main scientists working with enhancing fungal, bacterial, virus and insect biological control agents on different targets present the latest progress in overcoming the barrier of insufficient virulence. This multi-disciplinary group review their own work and that of others, and describe the approaches being used, the successes and the barriers yet to be overcome. There is no up-to-date equivalent work describing biocontrol, let alone enhanced biocontrol.
