Quality Control and Production of Biological Control Agents
Theory and Testing Procedures
Edited by J C van Lenteren
Description
The use of biological control agents has been increasing worldwide and there are now many companies mass-producing such organisms, particularly for the control of insect pests. However, there is a great need for quality control in the production and use of these natural enemies, which include insect parasitoids and predators, fungi and viruses. This book has been written by leading scientists from Europe and North America to provide both background theory and practical guidance on this subject.

Endorsements
"The book is a most useful compendium of knowledge of the commercial biological control industry in industrialized countries."J H Frank, Florida Entomologist, 87(1), 2004 "This is a serious and scholarly work that will serve as a foundation for what I view as a new field in biological control, namely the definition and maintenance of quality in natural enemies reared for biological control....There is much work to be done in the field of quality control in biological control agents, but all future work will likely start from the foundation laid by this book." David R Gillespie, Biocontrol Science and Technology, 14(5), 2004 "This book is extremely well written and edited. It is a "must" purchase for practitioners, educators, and researchers that are involved in biological control, whether it be implementing programs or conducting applied or basic research with biological control agents. Raymond A Cloyd, Entomological News, 114(4), 2003
