Parasitoids in Pest Management

Herausgeber: Omkar

• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

This book covers information on one of the most important biocontrol agents that are effective in controling insect pests of crops. It deals with important insect parasitic groups followed by specific group of parasitoids. The book addresses unique and modern aspects of why insect-pest management is necessary and what are different parastoids.
