This book is a synthesis and a celebration of a large body of agro-ecological research carried out on the management of the pests of cotton, one of the worlds major crops and one which has historically been a very heavy consumer of inputs of pesticides. It demonstrates how agro-ecological approaches to pest management are at last approaching themainstream with an increasing recognition that farmland delivers a wide range of ecosystem services (nature's goods and services), including but certainly not solely comprising the production of food.
