Description:

This classic reference, originally published in 1928, and most recently in 1962, has undergone an extensive revision that reflects one of the most important modern concepts in the field of economic entomology--integrated pest management (IPM)--which is concerned with biological controls, chemical ecology, and nontoxic chemical pesticides. Featuring comprehensive coverage of some 600 species of North American insect pests--including every known economically and medically important species--coverage includes: detailed life history and habits, field keys for species identification, a selected bibliography, and IPM-based control measures.
