Chemical pesticides do little to help in the farm future profitability, sustainability and ecosystem. However, there are pest management methods that are less costly, environmentally friendly and more sustainable. These pest management strategies when well used can promote the future growth of the farm and the image of the farm locally and globally, as discussed in this book. This book walks the audience through the different methods to safely and humanely control pest whether mammals, birds or insect. By focusing on the identification, quantification, specification of control possibilities and proper application and monitoring and evaluation of pest, this book help in avoiding mis-identification which equals to mis-management. The book provides a wholistic approach to crop pest control that will reserve the welfare of the laborers and the pest ecosystem."--  |c Provided by publisher
