Biological Control or bio-control is the use of an invasive plant’s natural enemies - agents - to reduce its population below a desired level. It is the long-term, self-sustaining treatment method for managing invasive plants. It can be divided into two approaches, classical and inundative. In recent decades, elevated awareness of the impacts of pesticide use on the environment and human health have resulted in efforts to reduce reliance on chemical controls. Many countries have instituted more stringent regulation of pesticide manufacture, registration and use, thereby increasing the cost, and decreasing the availability of these tools. All those interested in the pursuit of Plant Sciences will find this volume useful and stimulating. Audience: Botany: Students and Research scholars in Mycology, Plant Pathology, Microbial Technology, Microbial Ecology and Applied Microbiology. This book is perfect for shorter courses which focus on plants and animals. It is simply the textbook for showing students how biology works, offering an engaging and content presentation of the fundamentals through the landmark experiments that revealed them.
