Gill, have selected contributions for a special volume of compelling and timeless articles on key aspects of insect control. Insect Control includes the original articles and new addenda covering topics such as insect growth-and development-disrupting insecticides, mechanisms and use of Bacillus thuringiensis, biology and genomics of polydnaviruses, pheromone function and use in insect control, and more.-- Source other than Library of CongressThis single-volume was created for the researcher, entomologist, or student with a specialized interest in insect control. -- Book Jacket
