Thank you for visiting our auction. We have been selling on ebay since 2006. This is a used book and might have minor blemishes.If you have any questions about this item please ask. We wil be glad to assist you. The binding is tight however this book has spine lean, slant or cock due to improper storage which can be seen in the last picture.The definition of spine lean, slant or cock is belowSpine lean / spine slant / spine cocked: If you place a book flat on a table in front of you and the front board protrudes beyond the back board, or vice-versa,then the book can be said to have a spine lean or slant, i.e. it does not sitsquare on the table or shelf. There are no bent, torn, or writing on any of the pages. The binding is tight. This book appears not to have been read or opened except for pictures.This book has no odors and no water damage. This book titled “Mass Production of Beneficial Organisms: Invertebrates and Entomopathogens” is a valuable resource for those interested in technology and engineering, science, pest control, life sciences, ecology, environmental science, and zoology. The author, M. Guadalupe Rojas, has provided a comprehensive guide on the mass production of beneficial organisms, specifically invertebrates and entomopathogens. The book is published by Elsevier Science & Technology and has 764 pages. It is a hardcover format with dimensions of 9 inches in length and 6 inches in width. The book is written in English and published in 2013. This textbook is categorized as a textbook, education & reference, and books & magazines. Mass Production of Beneficial Organisms: Invertebrates and Entomopathogens is an essential reference and teaching tool for researchers in developed and developing countries working to produce “natural enemies” in biological control and integrated pest management programs.As we become aware of the negative impact of pesticides in human health and on the environment, interest is rapidly increasing in developing biological pest control alternatives. Tremendous advances have been made in beneficial organism technology, such as insect predators and parasitoids, mite predators, entomopathogenic nematodes, fungi, bacteria, and viruses. However, developing techniques to mass produce these biological control agents is not enough if the cost of commercialization is prohibitive. Advancing mass production to the level of economic feasibility is critical, so these new technologies can compete in the open market.This book educates academic and industry researchers, and enables further development of mass production so new technologies can compete in the open market. It is also an excellent resource for those researching beneficial arthropod mass production and technologies for other uses, including for study and application in biotechnology and biomedical research.Focuses on techniques for mass production of beneficial organisms and methods of evaluation and quality assessmentOrganizes and presents the most advanced and current knowledge on methods to mass produce beneficial organisms in response to the increased global demand for alternatives to chemical pesticides for biological control producersIncludes a team of highly respected editors and authors with broad expertise in these areas
