The Ecology of Bruchids Attacking Legumes (Pulses) Proceedings of the International Symposium held at Tours (France), April 16–19, 1980
As editor of this volume I am not going to emphasize the economic im portance of the Bruchids of pulses, nor how necessary it is to know the conditions of infestation of crops in order to achieve an efficient protection; both points are testified by F.A.O.'s sponsorship, as well as of the Inte...
