Introductory Biological Pest Control ENTOMOLOGY (An Introduction)
PREFACE Biological control as a discipline had
its significant beginnings in the 19th Century and continues to grow in scope
and achievements. The importance of
natural enemy components in effective agroecosystem
management is increasingly recognized.
This first organization of a textbook focuses on natural enemies to
provide a sound foundation for those pursuing biological and integrated
control professionally, particularly with emphasis on those aspects which
have yielded the greatest number of control successes: the acquisition, culture, establishment
and manipulation of new natural enemy species: Classical Biological Control. Text accompanying each section is
paraphrased from cited references. No
claim is made that the bibliography associated with each subject is complete;
citations are not meant to include all
material published on a particular subject;
however, cross-referencing should access over 95% of the known
literature. Early literature is also
stressed because the natural enemies and techniques developed offer viable pest
control strategies in the wake of the eclipse on biological control wrought
by several decades of broad-spectrum pesticide deployment and diversion to
genetic manipulation. Research on
host or prey organisms that is pertinent to a fuller understanding of natural
enemies and their culture is included.
Scientific names are temporarily those used in cited references, while
an up-dating effort is still in progress.
A great quantity of material has been compiled in this work, and its
wide scope should meet the needs of the most exacting practitioner. The categories selected for this First
Edition may be changed in succeeding editions, and pertinent references for
each category will be included as they are found in the literature. Ideas expressed herein that are
attributable to cited authors shall be noted as such and duly credited to
them. The General Index
will serve to link the various categories.
For additions and corrections to this database please contact the following for consideration e.legner@ucr.edu The
following researchers, who through the middle of the 20th Century untiringly
inspired the goals of biological control and made significant original
contributions to a solid foundation for this field, are gratefully

Vinson, M. Wallace, L. Walters, R. M. Weseloh, G. Wylie, M. Wysoki, H. S. Yu,
and G. Zinna for their encouragement and counsel. The assistance of the Beneficial Insectary & Rincon-Vitova
Insectary was also vital in the acquisition and storage of data. In particular, the encouragement of
Everett Dietrick, Sinthya Penn and Glenn Scriven
was crucial. Max Badgley created many
of the photographic illustrations. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - SPECIFICATIONS
