Schadinsekten, Pflanzenkrankheiten und Unkräuter zerstören fast 40 Prozent der Nahrungsmittelproduktion - und das trotz der jährlichen Anwendung von 2.5 Millionen Tonnen Pestiziden! Ein sinnvoller Einsatz der Pestizide kann den ökonomischen Nutzen erhöhen und dabei Gesundheit und Umwelt schonen. Dieses Buch erläutert die verfügbaren Techniken der Schadensbekämpfung für Landwirtschaftsberater, Regierungsbeamte, Wissenschaftler und die Öffentlichkeit und hilft so, den Einsatz von Pestiziden ohne wirtschaftlichen Schaden zu verringern.
