An effort has been made to provide knowledge of biofertilizers and microbial pesticides with microbiological techniques required for maintenance and use.
In order to maximize food production, it is advantageous to protect crops from competing species of plants, as well as from herbivores competing with humans.
La doctora Susana Chow incursiona por los caminos de la actividad industrial que procesa los productos que más tarde se convierten en importantes satisfactores para la sociedad de consumo, como las prendas de vestir, los plásticos de uso doméstico e industrial y los combustibles.
Resulting from the premier forum for pesticide development and use, this volume provides comprehensive coverage and even captures emerging technologies within the industry.
Technology for modifying the genotypes and phenotypes of insects and other arthropods has steadily progressed with the development of more precise and powerful methods, most prominently transgenic modification.
