Publisher's Synopsis
This book brings together research on the interactions between two major methods of pest control, plant resistance and biological control. It demonstrates how breeding for plant resistance to insects and mites may affect entomophagous species from laboratory, greenhouse and field situations and details the original findings of established international scientists which expand and up-date the present database on pest control. The implications of these findings are significant for modern pest control and to the ecology of multi-trophic level interactions.
