Produktbeschreibung

Biotic Stress and Yield Loss is a comprehensive review of the latest conclusions regarding yield loss in entomology, weed science, and plant pathology, combining state-of-the-art theory with successful applications. This book is unique in that it is the first to cover all biotic stressors, insects, weeds, and plant pathogens, and their impact on plant yield and fitness. It focuses on current knowledge of yield and fitness loss in both natural and agricultural ecosystems and on a physiologically-based approach to provide a common basis for considering and discussing biotic stress.
