Synopsis
Farmers and gardeners are familiar with the community of insects on cabbages and related plants, but until now few people have appreciated its fascination. It forms an excellent topic for the investigation of a range of ecological interactions, and it holds extra interest becasue of its potential importance for man. If we are to minimise the damage done due to insect pests, those ecological interactions must be understood. This book introduces the insects living on cabbages and oilseed rape, including the herbivores and the parasites and predators that feed on them. The natural history of the community is described, and keys and illustrations are provided to help readers to name their insects.
