    Summary note
    This volume covers the broad spectrum of forest pest management from developmental stages of control agents, through application procedures, to toxicology and hazard assessment. This 26 chapter volume explores the major concerns in forest pest management in four sections: control agents, spray deposition, target and nontarget distribution, and ecotoxicology, and hazard assessment.
