Introduction to Insect Pest Management, Hardcover by Metcalf, Robert Lee (EDT); Luckmann, William Henry (EDT), ISBN 0471589578, ISBN-13 9780471589570, Brand New, Free P&P in the UK The second edition (1982) of this comprehensive guide to insect pest management is cited in BCL3 . Its premise is that while pest-management practices may be simple in design and application, their successful development must be based on rigorous understanding of the natural laws that govern the abundance of insect pests and regulate their interactions with all other phases of the living environment. Its major purpose, therefore, is to present the techniques of applied ecology together with strategies for their successful application to insect control. Annotation copyright Book News, Inc.
