Integrated pest management (IPM) is a sustainable approach to manage pests through biological, cultural, physical and chemical means in order to minimize economic and environmental injury caused by such pests. Any comprehensive IPM program requires an understanding of the ecological relationships between crops, pests, natural enemies and the environment. This book presents a series of review chapters on ecologically-based IPM. Topics covered range from the ecological effects of chemical control practices to the ecology of predator-prey and parasitoid-host systems.

Integrated pest management (IPM) is a sustainable approach to manage pests through biological, cultural, physical and chemical means. Comprehensive IPM programme requires an understanding of the ecological relationships between crops, pests, natural enemies and the environment. This book reviews several cases in which ecologically-based IPM was used, and analyses the effectiveness of numerous methods - from the ecological effects of chemical control practices to the ecology of predator-prey and parasitoid-host systems
