Course Goal

In this course mass production methods and principles of beneficial insects and mites Acarina, Thysanoptera, Coleoptera, Diptera, Hemiptera, Neuroptera, and Hymenoptera which are used to biological control approach will be discussed.

Course Content

The scientific study of insects and mites, especially studies to investigate on their biological and ecological features needs basic information on mass rearing techniques of the organism. We also need to know mass rearing techniques for Biological control approach in the pest control programs.

Course Precondition

There is no prerequisite for this course.
