Summary "This work traces the development of the concepts and practices of crop protection, taking cotton production, which has often been the source of pioneering technical innovations, as a case study. It presents a detailed analysis of the state-of-the-art in crop protection, discusses the limits of agrochemical protection and explores the need to consider agroecosystems in their entirely, leading to the concept of agroecology."--[book cover]
