| Summary | Annotation Classical biological control of insects, where exotic natural enemies are introduced to control exotic pests, has been applied for more than 120 years, and the release of more than 2000 species of natural enemies has resulted in the permanent reduction of at least 165 pest species worldwide. Augmentative biological control, where exotic or native natural enemies are periodically released, has been used for 90 years, and more than 150 species of natural enemy are available on demand for the control of about 100 pest species. The aim of this book is to compile the current knowledge of methodologies used for assessing environmental impacts of invertebrate biological control agents, to advise on how to perform science-based risk assessments and on how to use new technology and information. |
