This book enhances our understanding of biological control, the suppression of populations of pests and weeds by living organisms, combining theory and practical application. The authors cover biological control of insects, weeds, plant pathogens and vertebrate animals, and take a balanced, objective approach that explores the benefits and risks of biological control methods.
