Publisher Summary 1
Summarizes 30 years of research by specialists from the departments of tree and fruit crops as well as forestry. Shows that major achievements have been obtained with the rational use of chemical pesticides but that, nonetheless, in many cases the action of such pesticides could be complemented or even replaced by different techniques or biological agents. Topics include rational chemical pest control, insecticides with biological action, useful insects, entomopathogenic organisms, cultural techniques, methods of trapping pests, and tolerant plant material. Contains b&w illustrations and color plates of various insects. Annotation c. by Book News, Inc., Portland, Or.
