Biocontrol Systems and Plant Physiology in Modern Agriculture 1st Edition

Capture the future of sustainable crop protection with Biocontrol Systems and Plant Physiology in Modern Agriculture — 1st Edition by Romeo Rojas, PhD, Guillermo Cristian Guadalupe Martínez Ávila, PhD, and Juan Antonio Vidales Contreras. This authoritative text bridges cutting-edge science and field-ready practice to help growers, researchers, and students tackle pest and disease challenges without relying solely on chemical pesticides.

Explore how integrated biocontrol agents interact with plant physiology to enhance resilience, yield, and nutritional quality across temperate and tropical systems. Clear, evidence-based chapters cover microbial antagonists, beneficial insects, induced resistance, soil health, and the physiological mechanisms that determine crop responses. Regional case studies—including practical examples relevant to Latin America and other major agricultural zones—make the science directly applicable to real-world farms and greenhouses.

Designed for agronomists, extension specialists, graduate students, and policy makers, this edition emphasizes applied strategies: selecting effective biocontrols, optimizing timing with plant developmental stages, and designing sustainable pest management programs that improve long-term productivity and environmental outcomes.

Readable yet rigorous, the book blends experimental results, management guidelines, and decision-making frameworks to support precision agriculture and integrated pest management (IPM). Whether you’re updating a university syllabus, advising growers, or improving on-farm practices, this volume is an indispensable resource for modern agriculture.

Equip yourself with practical knowledge that boosts crop health and sustainability. Add Biocontrol Systems and Plant Physiology in Modern Agriculture — 1st Edition to your library today and lead the transition to smarter, greener crop protection.
