Also available as eBook on:
Understanding biotic stress and plant yield allows for the practical development of economic decision making, an instrumental part of Integrated Pest Management. And further, the impact of biotic injury on plant yield bears directly on the basic biological questions of population dynamics, life history strategies, community structure, plant-stressor coevolution, and ecosystem nutrient cycling....

Biography
Robert K.D. Peterson, Leon G. Higley
"Biotic Stress and Yield Loss is an indispensable resource for understanding the complex responses of plants to the attack of pests. Theoreticians and practitioners alike can rely on this work as a well-written and comprehensive reference on the topic."
--Larry P. Pedigo
"A comprehensive review of plant yield loss in entomology, weed science, and plant pathology, covering both theory and applications."
