Four or five decades ago, entomologists embarking on a study on soft scale insects would have encountered a scarcity of general text books or comprehensive treatise of the family, as a starting point for their research. At the time, the available knowledge and data were either scattered among numerous articles or regional monographs or were in obsolete books. It is hoped that this volume will cover almost the entire spectrum of the knowledge on the soft scale insect family, Coccidae. This book comprises six chapters and begins by discussing the natural enemies of soft scale insects, such as pathogens like entomopathogenic fungi; predators like coccineilidae and other coleoptera; and parasitoids like encyrtidae. It then discusses issues of damage and control, including pest status of soft scale insects and coccid pests of important crops. This book will be of interest to entomologists, horticulturists, zoologists, biologists, and those involved in general agricultural research.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Yair Ben-Dov\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0444828435\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780444828439\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Elsevier Science\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 12\/09\/1997\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 439\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 2.84lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 10.80h x 8.08w x 1.27d","brand":"Yair Ben-Dov","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48112913219839,"sku":"9780444828439","price":460.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_f5e17484-0f63-4afd-a4bd-3dd245610fc9.jpg?v=1769611789","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/soft-scale-insects-yair-ben-dov-9780444828439","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
