PREFACE
Biological control as a discipline
had its significant beginnings in the 19th Century to suppress insect
invasions 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 an 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 emailfl.htm ACKNOWLEDGMENTS The following researchers, who
through the middle of the 20th Century and beyond untiringly inspired the
goals of biological control and made significant original contributions to a
solid foundation for this field, are gratefully acknowledged: Professors D. P. Annecke, A. P. Arthur, R.

R. W. Warkentin, R. M. Weseloh, G. Wylie, M. Wysoki, 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 and Ernest White created many of the photographic illustrations wilst
directing the Quarantine Insectary at The University of California. - - - - - - - - - - - -
