What is Encyclopedia of Pest Management about?

With over 50% of the world food supply lost to pests, the Encyclopedia justifies its focus on the identification and management of diverse species that damage food plants, livestock, and forests. Pimentel (insect ecology and agricultural sciences, Cornell U.) has chosen peer-reviewed articles by some 300 contributors from universities across the globe that assess benefits and risks of assorted pest technologies, including pesticides and nonchemical controls. The environmental and public health impacts of pest control are also discussed. Most entries are three pages, and all identify the author and include references. Among the 300 topics are acaricides, cover crops, fallows, human lice, organic farming, predacides, rhizobia, scabies mites, sticky traps, and weed electrocution.
