Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book takes a deep dive into the United States Department of Agriculture's research on biological control of insect pests from 1888 to the present day. Beginning with the successful introduction of the vedalia beetle to combat the cottony-cushion scale, the author traces the history of biological control efforts against major pests like the gypsy moth, Japanese beetle, and spotted alfalfa aphid. The book also explores the challenges and successes of introducing natural enemies from foreign countries, the potential risks and extensive precautions involved in such introductions, and the overall impact of biological control on American agriculture and forestry. Detailing the introduction and establishment of 128 beneficial species, the author provides a comprehensive account of the USDA's significant contributions to pest management, highlighting the importance of biological control as a sustainable and environmentally friendly approach to pest control.
