Abstract

This book describes over 100 citrus pests, and details their control using integrated pest management (IPM). Over 400 colour photographs help the reader to identify pests, the damage they cause, and their natural enemies. IPM minimises the use of pesticides and maximises the use of various biological and cultural measures to control pests. Encouraging natural enemies of the pests is a major feature of IPM and of this book. IPM will result in production of high-quality fruit at lower cost, and satisfy consumer demand for ‘clean and green’ produce. It is also kinder to the environment, and healthier and safer for farmers and farmworkers.
