DOWNLOAD EBOOK →Completely revised and updated, this edition of The Manual of Biocontrol Agents contains 452 detailed entries of biocontrol agents used in the production of 2,000 commercial products. It includes: 149 micro-organisms; 89 natural products; 140 macro-organisms; and 74 semiochemicals. Although different in style, this publication is complementary to The Pesticide Manual--now in its 15th edition--and, where appropriate, entries are cross referenced. All those involved in the practice, administration, regulation of or educational fields in organic or conventional crop protection and environmental safety will find this a definitive source of global biocontrol information.

DOWNLOAD EBOOK →For many years the use of chemical agents such as pesticides and herbicides has been effective in controlling the many varieties of pests that infest both agricultural crops and backyard gardens. However, these pests are gradually becoming resistant to these agents, because the agents themselves are acting as selective factors making the pests better and better able to resist and persist. As a result, the use of biological controlling agents is increasing. This book is a comprehensive and authoritative handbook of biological control.

DOWNLOAD EBOOK →This guide focuses on the most problematic weeds in eastern North America for which there are at least some biocontrol agents established and/or available. Multiple photos and descriptions of each weed included in this guide emphasize key identification traits and plant ecology. For each weed included in this guide, all biocontrol agents released or currently found in North America are described individually. Photos highlighting key identification features and damage are included. The release history, current status, and recommended use of each biocontrol agent are described in detail. Recommendations and current impact often vary between the US and Canada, therefore, the information is presented separately. Includes international code of best practices for classical biological control of weeds.

ISBN-13: 9781586032166
DOWNLOAD EBOOK →Contains 24 contributions and an additional six abstracts focusing on the use of biocontrol agents in agriculture. Sections address the need for enhanced biocontrol agents and strategies for enhancement; technologies for enhancing biocontrol agents; risks from enhanced biocontrol agents and their mitigation; and genetics and molecular biology of enhancing biocontrol agents. The abstracts address emerging biocontrols including valine excreting isolate of Pseudomonas syringae cv. tagetis exhibiting enhanced virulence against hounds tongue (Cynoglossum officinale); application of fungal polysaccharides in plant protection; and the predisposing of forest weeds by chemical and manual cutting treatments to enhance the efficacy of selected biocontrol agents.

DOWNLOAD EBOOK →This book provides a review of biocontrol agents. Chapter One discusses the biological control of bacterial pathogens in horticultural systems. Chapter Two focuses on the modes of action and applicability of the most used biological fungicides in vegetables and field crops. Chapter Three studies the biological control of fungal diseases of edible mushrooms. Chapter Four identifies different classes of biopesticides and more particularly, examines plant-based products/chemicals, discussing their integration in pest/vectors management programs. Chapter Five reviews the potential of phytoinsecticides, their action mechanisms, and their relative importance to integrated management strategies.
