<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p><i>Mass Production of Beneficial Organisms: Invertebrates and Entomopathogens</i> is an essential reference and teaching tool for researchers in developed and developing countries working to produce natural enemies in biological control and integrated pest management programs. </p> <p>As we become aware of the negative impact of pesticides in human health and on the environment, interest is rapidly increasing in developing biological pest control alternatives. Tremendous advances have been made in beneficial organism technology, such as insect predators and parasitoids, mite predators, entomopathogenic nematodes, fungi, bacteria, and viruses. However, developing techniques to mass produce these biological control agents is not enough if the cost of commercialization is prohibitive. Advancing mass production to the level of economic feasibility is critical, so these new technologies can compete in the open market.</p> <p>This book educates academic and industry researchers, and enables further development of mass production so new technologies can compete in the open market. It is also an excellent resource for those researching beneficial arthropod mass production and technologies for other uses, including for study and application in biotechnology and biomedical research.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><p><i>...covers the topic of large scale production of a huge range of insects and entomopathogens, plus some useful additional topics covering areas such as diet development, quality assurance and formulation...as a reference point for information on starting up production in any of the areas covered, this book would be a useful source of updated information.--</i><b><i>Society for Invertebrate Pathology Newsletter, </i> June 2014</b> </p><br>
