Synopsis

The identification of, and relationship among, pest organisms and their natural enemies is an essential prerequisite for the development of sustainable methods for their control. Biosystematics is the basis for management of biodiversity in sustainable agriculture. There is a vast armoury of techniques available to the biosystematist, and this book is the first major review of the applications and potential of the methods now in use, ranging from the morphometric and ultrastructural to isozymes and DNA sequencing. This volume consists of 34 papers presented at the Third Workshop on the Ecological Foundations of Sustainable Agriculture (WEFSA III), organized by CAB INTERNATIONAL and the Systematics Association, held in June 1993. The book is divided into four parts: biosystematic services, biosystematic information, biosystematic characters, and biochemical and molecular biosystematics. It demonstrates how biosystematics can contribute to improved crop protection and which techniques are appropriate to address particular identification problems, and makes recommendations for future actions.
