Economics and adoption of conservation biological control [PDF]

open access: yesBiological Control, 2008
Abstract Improving the conditions for natural enemies through conservation biological control (CBC) in agricultural landscapes has the potential to be economically beneficial, but economic assessments of CBC programs are rarely conducted. In this paper, we discuss how to complete an economic assessment of CBC.
