Rezensionen

..a very interesting book..used as an introductory work..The authors have done a very good job illustrating the gaps in knowledge and producing a readable and stimulating work. The book should fulfill the authors' aim of promoting further work on the subject. Pesticide Outlook; ...The book is provoking and informative to read, full of ideas, and forthright views, all of it backed by a wealth of experience, both observational and scientific.... International Pest Control; ..The book is generously referenced... Biocontrol researchers are often inhibited from investigating promising acarine biocontrol possibilities by a lack of readily available taxonomic guidance with the result that mites have not yet realised their full potential in pest control programmes. This book should make a valuable contribution towards redressing this situation. Outlook on Agriculture references cited being published in the 1980s.
