In what the publishers say is the first monograph on the subject, 56 authors have contributed to a new book applying the principles of agroecology to crop protection. Called Agroecological Crop Protection, the book’s editors include Jean-Noël Aubertot, from France’s National Institute for Agricultural Research (INRA), and Jean-Philippe Deguine and Alain Ratnadass, from CIRAD, who are contributing to next year’s five-day training course on the subject.

Published jointly by Springer and Éditions Quæ, the publishers say: “It presents the concepts of this innovative approach, case studies and lessons and generic keys for agroecological transition. The book is intended for a wide audience, including scientists, experimenters, teachers, farmers, students. It represents a new tool, proposing concrete keys of action on the basis of feedbacks validated scientifically.
“Beyond the examples presented, it is therefore of general scope and proposes recommendations for all temperate and tropical cropping systems. It contributes to the training and teaching modules in this field and it is an updated information support for professionals and a teaching aid for students (agronomy, crop protection, biodiversity management, agroecology).”
