Meer over het boek

Exploring the role of insect pathogens in pest management, this work highlights their potential to control pest populations while minimizing the risks associated with synthetic insecticides. It discusses how certain pathogens, like microsporidia, can suppress pest growth and facilitate earlier epizootics, ideally before pest densities reach economic thresholds. The book emphasizes strategies such as inoculative releases and cultural practice adjustments to enhance the effectiveness of these natural controls, showcasing the complex interactions between microorganisms and insects.
