This field manual is designed to provide background and instruction on a broad spectrum of techniques and their use in the evaluation of entomopathogens in the field. The second edition provides updated information and includes two additional chapters and 12 new contributors. The intended audience includes researchers, graduate students, practitioners of integrated pest management (IPM), regulators and those conducting environmental impact studies of entomopathogens.
Provides researchers, IPM practitioners, and graduate students with techniques and practical guidance for the study and optimal use of invertebrate pathogens in a variety of settings
Covers many topics including the theory and practice of microbial insecticide application, experimental design, ground based and aerial application equipment, overviews of the individual of pathogen groups, classical biological control, transgenic plants, resistance to insect pathogens, and guidelines for evaluating pathogens on non-target organisms
The only book on the market that offers diverse theoretical and practical aspects of application and evaluation of invertebrate pathogens for control of invertebrate pests (insects, mites, mollusks) in a variety of agroecosystems, in public health, and against ornamental, urban and veterinary pests
Provides step by step procedures written by an international group of experts for the use of invertebrate pathogens in pest control and furnishes the tools required for planning experiments and for the implementation of control programs
