Since the first pesticide products, growers have commonly relied on them to control insects and maintain crop production. Awareness of the negative impacts of pesticides has increased over the years including examples of when pest populations develop pesticide resistance, bee mortality, worker safety, runoff to waterways, and loss of market due to food surpassing the insecticide residue limits for export. Biological control through the use of predators, parasitoids, and pathogens repre-sent an attractive alternative. However, biological control can be a challenge to implement since these living organisms have their needs and behave optimally under certain conditions, and therefore require more forethought than conventional pest products. There fore, this book addresses ways to optimize natural enemies via conserva-tion, understanding their ecology, rearing, a specific focus in crop systems, and integration into IPM. While the focus is in Neotropical regions, a reader from any part of the world will find information in this book valuable. The ecology section provides background on various natural enemies and is useful for introducing new users or students to the topic. As a reader from a non-tropical region, I was encouraged by the popularity of augmentative biological control, with one entire section dedicated to mass rearing. Several chapters provide the reader a handbook to rearing, with photos, diagrams, and an explanation of the common problems encountered.Also, this book is timely discussing current topics of interest. How does climate change impact biological control? What is the recent evidence on the impact of transgenic plants on natural enemies? Given the increase in biopesticide products, the authors discuss their incorporation in IPM, and selectivity for compatibility with biological control. The use of silicon has long been used for enhancing plant vigor and can protect plants from pests, and the volatiles that attract natural enemies to infested plants have been increasingly used in the field for pest control MenosSince the first pesticide products, growers have commonly relied on them to control insects and maintain crop production.
