Pest and disease management continues to challenge the agricultural co mmunity. The rise in new pest and crop problems juxtaposed with public concern over pesticide use and more stringent environmental regulatio ns creates the need for today's agricultural producers to stay current with new technologies for producing quality crops profitably. Biologi cal and Biotechnological Control of Insect Pests presents an overview of alternative measures to traditional pest management practices, util izing biological control and biotechnology.
