Synopsis

This publication deals with the basic principles of insect population suppression and management. Its purpose is to develop a better understanding of the principles and mechanisms of different methods of control in relation to the dynamics of insect pest populations. Special emphasis is given to how these principles and mechanisms can be applied to slow down, stabilize, suppress, or eradicate target pest populations. Various control methods that are in use or being developed are analyzed critically, with special consideration given to ways that different techniques can be used simultaneously or sequentially to complement each other in developing ecologically acceptable insect control strategies.
