The biological control of pests is now employed by most horticultural businesses where vegetables are grown under glass, and increasingly in ornamental crops. The success of this approach is primarily due to the fact that pests can be more effectively controlled using biological crop protection. A description of each organism, its life cycle is outlined and its appearance through its various developmental stages is both described and illustrated. Completely revised and expanded the book is intended for horticulturalists, their co-workers, assistants advisors and students.
This book provides complete up to date information on the life habits of both pest organisms in the culture of vegetable and ornamental crops under glass and their natural enemies in a readble, popular scientific style.
