This volume (71 chapters), the fifth in a series documenting biological control programmes in Canada, presents new information on specific insect, weed or plant diseases, some of which are updates of on-going studies on historical biological control projects while other chapters report on biological control efforts for new emerging invasive alien species. In each case, information is presented in a consistent and logical manner, starting with the pest status in Canada, followed by a comprehensive background on previous studies, review of the use of biological control in these programmes, and an evaluation of the biological control efforts and future needs in research or implementation activities. A total of 64 chapters is dedicated to biological control case studies over the past 11 years - 36 on insect pests of agricultural importance and forestry or ornamental pests; 18 on the control of weeds for crops, rangeland, pastures or aquatic areas; and 10 on the biological control of plant disease causal agents. This book is intended for researchers and students in biological control, pest management, ecology and risk assessment
