Abstract

AbstractThis chapter introduces the concepts and potential of integrated pest management (IPM), pointing out that it originated in California with work on aphids, and the IPM case studies in the succeeding chapters. It defines IPM as the use of multiple control measures, states the golden rules of IPM, and discusses the interactions between chemical and biological control, between chemical control and host plant resistance, between biological control and host plant resistance, between cultural control and biological control and the three-way interaction between chemical control, host plant resistance and biological control.
