Biological control of insect pests, plant pathogens, and weeds is the only major alternative to the use of chemical pesticides in agriculture and forestry. This book is the first comprehensive attempt at a balanced benefit/risk assessment of biological control. It covers classical biological control of pests and weeds, augmentation of natural enemies, and the use of biopesticides. Unique sections deal with genetic engineering of biocontrol agents and crop plants, economic analysis of biocontrol, and the ecological consequences of the introduction of organisms. The book will be of interest to researchers and postgraduate students in biotechnology, agriculture, forestry, and environmental sciences.

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.

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.
