Extended biocontrol

Extended biocontrol / Xavier Fauvergue [and six others], editors.

A successful transition from conventional to sustainable agriculture requires crop protection methods that are safe for people, animals, plants and the environment. The idea behind Extended Biocontrol is to combine biological control sensu stricto (i.e., the use of living organisms to control plant...
