Table of ContentsReviews"""With the ever-increasing shift in agricultural paradigms from extensive use of insecticides to safer alternatives, interest in biocontrol options in integrated pest management (IPM) programs continues to grow. In this volume specialists provide a broad overview of the role of insect parasitoids in IPM. For each insect group considered as prospective biocontrol agent, the authors draw attention to taxonomy, natural history, host specificities, and management practices (e.g., mass rearing, dissemination, efficacy). The extent of discussion varies from group to group, depending on what is known about a particular taxon. This is an interesting and valuable text that will be of considerable importance to ecologists, conservationists, agriculturalists, and entomologists working in pest management. This is a companion volume to Insect Predators in Pest Management, also edited by Omkar (2023)."" --D. A.
