BioControl

BioControl is the official journal of the International Organization for Biological Control (IOBC) (http://www.springer.com/life+sci/entomology/journal/10526).

BioControl - official journal of the International Organization for Biological Control (IOBC)It includes original papers on basic and applied research in all aspects of biological control of invertebrate, vertebrate and weed pests, and plant diseases.  Subject areas covered in BioControl comprise biology and ecology of organisms for biological control, and various facets of their use including any biological means of control for integrated pest management (IPM) such as plant resistance, pheromones and intercropping. Interdisciplinary papers with a global perspective on the use of biological control in integrated pest management systems are strongly encouraged.
Developments in molecular biology and biotechnology that have direct relevance to biological control will also be considered for publication. Organisms covered by BioControl include parasitoids, invertebrate and vertebrate predators of pest animals and plants, mites, plant and insect pathogens, nematodes, and weeds. In addition to original research papers, BioControl also publishes forum papers, reviews (solicited by the Editor-in-Chief) and Letters to the Editor on critical issues relevant to biological control.

Quality Control and Production of Biological Control Agents: Theory and Testing Procedures.

ISBN 0 85199 688 4, hardback, 327 pp., US $ 120.00 J C van Lenteren (ed.), Department of Entomology, Wageningen University, The Netherlands

Quality Control and Production of Biological Control Agents: Theory and Testing ProceduresThis book was written by many IOBC members and is the result of work done in global and wprs working groups on quality control of natural enemies. The use of biological control agents has been increasing worldwide and there are now many companies massproducing such organisms, particularly for the control of insect pests. However, there is a great need for quality control in the production and use of these natural enemies, which include insect parasitoids and predators, fungi and viruses. This book has been written by leading scientists to provide both background theory and practical guidance on this subject. (www.cabi-publishing.org/bookshop; ISBN 0 85199 688 4, hardback, 327 pp., US $ 120.00 (some copies still available for reduced price at Joop.vanLenteren@wur.nl)
