IOBC-WPRS

Coverage includes the biology and ecology of organisms for biological control, and various facets of their use including biological contributions to integrated pest management (IPM), such as plant resistance, pheromones and intercropping. Interdisciplinary papers with a global perspective on the use of biological control in IPM systems are strongly encouraged. Developments in molecular biology that have direct relevance to biological control are also considered for publication. In addition to original research articles, BioControl also publishes Forum articles, Review Papers, and Letters to the Editor.
IOBC-WPRS individual and supporting members can subscribe to BioControl at substantially reduced cost. Institutional members have the subscription included in their membership fee.

The IOBC-WPRS Bulletins are a well established series of relatively fast issued working papers in a systematic format.

Bulletins are proceedings of Working and Study Group meetings and Commission activities.

The number of volumes varies each year (10-15 volumes).

This publication is an important support to the Working Groups of WPRS.

IOBC-WPRS news are published in a Newsletter sent by e-mail.

Quality Control and Production of Biological Control Agents: Theory and Testing Procedures.
J.C. van Lenteren (ed.), 2004. 327 pp.
This book was written by many IOBC members and is the result of work done in global and wprs working groups on quality control of natural enemies. The use of biological control agents has been increasing worldwide and there are now many companies massproducing such organisms, particularly for the control of insect pests. However, there is a great need for quality control in the production and use of these natural enemies, which include insect parasitoids and predators, fungi and viruses. This book has been written by leading scientists to provide both background theory and practical guidance on this subject.

International Organization for Biological Control of Noxious Animals and Plants: History of the first 50 Years (1956-2006).
Boller, E.F., J.C. van Lenteren and V. Delucchi (eds.), 2006, IOBC, Zürich, 287 pp.
The International Organisation for Biological Control (IOBC) celebrates its 50th anniversary. What started in 1956 with the first meeting of European pioneers in biological control evolved into an independent organisation with world-wide activities (www.iobc-global.org). IOBC’s expertise covers now all aspects of sustainable crop protection in major annual and perennial crops. To commemorate this milestone, a book on the colourful history of this organisation has been published.
The book can be ordered at Joop.vanLenteren@wur.nl (10 Euro / 15 US$ including shipment).
