This is the last volume of the IPMD series. It aims, in a multi-disciplinary approach, at reviewing and discussing recent advances and achievements in the practice of crop protection and integrated pest and disease management. This last effort deals with management of arthropods, and is organized with a first section on biological control in citrus orchards, a second one on advanced and integrated technologies for insect pest management and a last section, dealing with mites and their biological control. A wide and exaustive literature already covers several aspects of chemical or biological control of insects and mites, but there is still a need for a more holistic vision of management, accounting for different problems and solutions, as they are applied or developed, in different regions and cropping systems, worldwide. In this series we attempted to fill this gap, providing an informative coverage for a broad range of agricultural systems and situations.

From the reviews:

“The final book in a five-part series edited by Ciancio … will be useful to specialists in certain subdisciplines of integrated pest management (IPM). … focuses primarily on IPM involving citrus and mites. … The work is detailed, current, amply referenced, and carefully edited, combining contributions from 34 experts representing India, Egypt, the US, and several European countries. … Summing Up: Recommended. Graduate students and above.” (M. K. Bomford, Choice, Vol. 48 (5), January, 2011)
