Their natural enemies largely determine the population size and behavior of many plant-eating insects. Any reduction in enemy number can result in an insect outbreak. Applied biological control is one way to restore biodiversity in many agroecosystems. Predators and Parasitoids addresses the role of natural enemies in pest control. It examines how Trichogramma, the natural enemy of insect pests, has been used as a pest management tool, and it describes plants' defense mechanisms and the effect of plant diversity on herbivores and natural enemies. This volume is ideal for graduate students, research scientists and professionals in biological pest control, agriculture, entomology and ecology.
