Cover; Contents; Preface; Contributors; Chapter 1 Ecological engineering, habitat manipulation and pest management; Chapter 2 Genetic engineering and ecological engineering: a clash of paradigms orscope for synergy?; Chapter 3. The agroecological bases of ecological engineering for pest management; Chapter 4 The landscape context of arthropod biological control; Chapter 5 Use of behavioural and life-history studies to understand the effects ofhabitat manipulation; Chapter 6 Molecular techniques and habitat manipulation approaches for parasitoidconservation in annual cropping systems.
Chapter 7 Marking and tracking techniques for insect predators and parasitoids inecological engineeringChapter 8 Precision agriculture approaches in support of ecological engineering forpest management; Chapter 9 Effects of agroforestry systems on the ecology and management of insectpest populations; Chapter 10 The 'push-pull' strategy for stemborer management: a case study inexploiting biodiversity and chemical eco.
Ecological engineering is about manipulating farm habitats, making them less favourable for pests and attracting beneficial insects.
