Abstract

The role of natural enemies in cotton pest management has often been obscured by the widespread use of broad-spectrum insecticides. However, cotton can support a large complex of insects, spiders and mites that feed on cotton pests. Changes in the cotton production system have highlighted the importance of beneficial insect species. This book is an aid to identifying beneficial insects in cotton.
