Students, pest management professionals, growers, and master gardeners will benefit from this interactive CD-ROM. Compatible with Windows systems, the UC Interactive Tutorial for Biological Control of Insects and Mites is the perfect teaching tool for anyone interested in learning more about biological control.
With more than 60 beneficial species covered on 75 narrated screens, this tutorial teaches users to recognize signs of parasitism and predation, identify specific natural enemies of common pests, and understand the biology of several predators, parasites, and pathogens.
The CD provides instruction on releasing commercially available biological control agents such as insects, mites, and nematodes. Information on integrating the use of pesticides and other management practices with biological control is also included. Twenty-four interactive games and quizzes, including multiple-choice, matching, or "complete-the-diagram" type questions, enhance learning.
Authored by Mary Louise Flint and Cheryl Reynolds, this CD contains 350 beautiful color photographs, more than 20 detailed illustrations, and a comprehensive index for easy navigation.
