Products and processes in agriculture are increasingly  becoming linked to science and cutting edge technology, to enable the  engineering of what are in effect, designer plants. One of the most  successful , non-chemical approaches to pest management and disease  control is biological control, which seeks a solution in terms of  using living organisms to regulate the incidence of pests and  pathogens, providing a natural control' while still maintaining the  biological balance with the ecosystem.\u003cbr\u003e  This volume, (the first of two), addresses the different types of  biocontrol for different pests, namely, crop diseases, weeds and  nematodes, and details the biology of both the pest and its enemies,  which is vital for efficient use of biological control. The book has  numerous contributors who are authorities in their fields, and would  be an asset to those who have interest in sustainable agriculture and  crop productivity.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Springer\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 2013-04-15\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Paperback\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e ISBN-10: 9781461368892\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9781461368892\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: 10.1007\/978-1-4615-4209-4\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 254cm x178cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 294\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Springer","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44358682771596,"sku":"9781461368892","price":153.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9781461368892.jpg?v=1755111710","url":"https:\/\/lateknightbooks.com\/products\/9781461368892","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
