Features: This book applies the principles of economics and ecology to propose the theory of "pest ecological regulation" for pest management. It also integrates systems science with pest management, establishing "pest management systems engineering" as the methodology for pest management. Furthermore, through specific examples, it elaborates on the economic harm characteristics of pests, ecological engineering design for habitat modification of pests, estimation methods for field quantity information of pests, and experimental techniques for studying the phototactic behavior of pests, thereby further enhancing the completeness of this discipline. This book can serve as a textbook and reference for researchers and students in relevant fields such as plant protection, environmental protection, entomology, ecology, agriculture, forestry, animal husbandry, systems science, pest control, and biological resource management.
