Cartoné (tapa dura cartón). Condition: New. Dust Jacket Condition: Nuevo. 1. Ecological engineering is the process of manipulating farm habitats for the purposes of maintaining or increasing food production, restoring wetlands and other ecosystems, and conserving resources such as water and fertile soil. This book focuses on the pest management aspect of ecological engineering: how to make farmland more attractive for beneficial insects and less favorable for pests. This book brings together contributors from around the world who are leaders in habitat manipulation for the purpose of agriculture. LIBRO.…

Ecological engineering is about manipulating farm habitats making them less favourable for pests and more attractive to beneficial insects. Though they've received far less research attention and funding ecological approaches may be safer and more sustainable than their controversial cousin genetic engineering. This book brings together contributions from international workers leading the fast moving field of habitat manipulation reviewing the field and paving the way towards the development and application of new pest management approaches. Chapters explore the frontiers of ecological engineering methods including molecular approaches high tech marking and remote sensing. They also review the theoretical aspects of this field and how ecological engineering may interact with genetic engineering. The technologies presented offer opportunities to reduce crop losses to insects while reducing the use of pesticides and providing potentially valuable habitat for wildlife conservation. With contributions from the USA UK Germany Switzerland Australia New Zealand Kenya and Israel this book provides comprehensive coverage of international progress towards sustainable pest management. 232 pp.…
