About this title

Synopsis

This practical new book, the first English language treatise on this subject, provides a unique synthesis of all aspects of forest insect ecology and control. The reader will find coverage on the nature of forest pests, along with extensive analysis of the role of climate, natural enemies, competition, and interactions with the host tree in insect population dynamics. Careful attention is paid to outbreaks and their impact on the forest environment. A realistic appraisal of the value of silvicultural, biological, and chemical control methods is included, along with information on how to incorporate these methods into an effective framework of integrated pest management.
