商品簡介
Vidal (Georg-August University, Germany) reviews current knowledge of a major economic pest that has spread from the Americas to Europe and looks at methods for managing it. Comparisons are drawn between plant protection techniques currently applied in North America and their potential application in Europe. Cultural, biotechnical, and biological control measures are also addressed, as are ecological baseline data such as population dynamics of the pest in both regions, economic thresholds, and aspects of the pest's behavior. The book is of interest to those in entomology and integrated crop protection. Annotation c2004 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
