Insect Pheromones and their Use in Pest Management


Add your own review!

Overview

The use of insect pheromones in pest management is a rapidly growing field of research and practice in agricultural and urban environments. An understanding of this area requires a knowledge of both chemistry and biology to a depth which can cause frustration in even the most experienced researchers. This work offers the reader an introduction to this branch of chemical ecology.
