Biological control has made a major contribution to integrated pest management (IPM) in Africa, but its documentation has been scattered and often under-reported. This book provides a review of the most important studies, including not only successes, but also on-going challenges. The focus is on arthropod pests and weeds, but diseases are also covered where significant. Case studies and promising research results are presented in 24 chapters that cover biocontrol by naturally occurring agents, exotic agents or seasonal manipulation. Although particularly relevant to pest control professionals working in Africa, this book also provides a useful reference for scientists worldwide.
