Druck auf Anfrage Neuware - Printed after ordering - This book focuses on entomovectoring, also known as apivectoring, the method used for managing pollinators to increase crop yields and employ strategies of biocontrol in greenhouses and open fields. It is written by experts working in academia and industry from the different continents of the world. Over the past 25 years Research and Developmenthassuccessfullyinvestigatedthepotential of pollinators to perform two tasks: dispersal of biological control agents (BCOs) andtheir pollination service.
