Abstract

Recognizing that globalization has led to increased movement of plants and the introduction of invasive plant species across the tropics, this book explores how arthropods may be used as an alternative to chemical means of weed control in tropic and aquatic environments. This involves analysis of the ecology and origins of 20 invasive species and offers multiple options for their management through different arthropod species.
