Sinopsis

Biological control of pest animals, weeds and diseases can be elegant, self-sustaining, non-polluting and cheap - when it works. As well as examining successful biological control programmes, this book analyzes why the majority of attempts fail. Off-target and other negative effects of biological control are also dealt with. Combined with the use of other experts to review chapters and editorial oversight to ensure thematic integrity of the volume, this book provides an analysis of biological control. Key aspects addressed include how success may be measured, how successful biological control has been to date and how may it be made more successful in the future. With extensive use of contemporary examples, photographs, figures and tables this book should be valuable to advanced undergraduate and postgraduate students as well as all those involved in making biological control successful.
