Insect control : biological and synthetic agents

One of the most popular areas in entomology is control. This title includes articles covering insect growth- and development-disrupting insecticides, mechanisms and use of Bacillus thuringiensis, biology and genomics of polydnaviruses, and pheromones: function and use in insect control
