Beyond IPM: Introduction to the Theory of Holistic Pest Management

by Juan F. Barrera ...

Series series Biomedical and Life Sciences (R0)
About 15 years ago, we asked ourselves why the methods developed by the research institutions for the management of pests were almost not used by small landholder farmers. It seemed obvious to us that conventional pest control –called “Integrated Pest Management”– was based on a reductionist approach. In reviewing the literature on the subject, we found that our concern was not new or unique. The ... Read more
