Field Manual of Techniques in Invertebrate Pathology Application and Evaluation of Pathogens for Control of Insects and Other Invertebrate Pests

Field Manual of Techniques in Invertebrate Pathology Application and Evaluation of Pathogens for Control of Insects and Other Invertebrate Pests / edited by Lawrence A. Lacey, Harry K. Kaya.

The 38 chapters of this Field Manual provide the tools required for planning experiments with entomopathogens and their implementation in the field. Basic tools include chapters on the theory and practice of microbial control agents, statistical design of experiments, equipment and application strat...
