Over the years farmers have over relied on chemical pesticides as the main strategy for controlling pests in French beans. Consequently, there has been a pest resurgence, environmental damage, pest resistance as well as lethal effects on non target beneficial organisms. A shift to the more environment friendly biological control of pests is therefore prudent. This book explores and provides an insight on the potential of Entomopathogenic nematodes, Heterorhabditis bacteriophora, and Steinernema karii, as a biological control agent against flower thrips, Frankliniella occidentalis and Megalurothrips sjostedti in French beans.The book will be found especially useful to all proponents of biological pest control and more so to researchers and other professionals in search of biological pest control. All persons interested in exploiting the potential of EPNs as a biological Agent will also find the book useful

As well as examining successful biological control programmes this book analyses why the majority of attempts fail. Off-target and other negative effects of biological control are also dealt with. Chapters contributed by leading international researchers and practitioners in all areas of biological control afford the book a breadth of coverage and depth of analysis not possible with a single author volume. Combined with the use of other experts to review chapters and editorial oversight to ensure thematic integrity of the volume, this book provides the most authoritative analysis of biological control published. Key aspects addressed include how success may be measured, how successful biological control has been to date and how may it be made more successful in the future. With extensive use of contemporary examples, photographs, figures and tables this book will be invaluable to advanced undergraduate and postgraduate students as well as being a `must' for all involved in making biological control successful.

The Integrated Pest Management IPM is an ecosystem approach to managing pests through understanding the crop ecosystem as a basis of good crop management decisions and support the sustainable intensification of crop production and pesticide risk reduction. Often, low levels of populations of some pests are needed to keep natural enemies in the field and the aim of IPM is to reduce pest populations to avoid damage levels that cause yield loss. The IPM is still directly associated with pests and defined as a knowledge-intensive process of decision making that combines various strategies (biological, cultural, physical and chemical, regular field monitoring of the crops etc.) that focuses on reduction of pesticide use to sustainably manage dangerous pests. This book is intended to guide farmers in the integrated management of pest and diseases, helping them with decision making. It provides a description of the most dangerous pests and diseases, including symptoms, possible location, types of plants, biology as well as ways of monitoring. It also describes the main components of specific Integrated Pest Management.
