| Summary |
This book presents topics on the development, improvement and commercialization of fungi for the biological control of pests, weeds and diseases which are of economic importance. Common themes such as production, formulation and application of technologies, biosafety, risk assessment and registration requirements are all covered. The book attempts to bring together scientists, industry and government agencies involved in all aspects of fungal biological control agents for the first time |
