The book evaluates the strategies of integrating compatible biocontrol agents as a method of pest control with minimum disruption to the environment. Among them, parasitoids and microbial biopesticides have shown promising results when integrated as they complement the effects of each other, and are notable for their environmental safety and pest selectivity.

This book contributes to the understanding of the efficiency of combined biocontrol strategy and its dynamics in a multitrophic context. This will lead to better utilization of parasitoids and other pest enemies in biological control of stored grain pests, minimizing the use of harmful chemical pesticides.
