How to use this index.
The index is comprised of four pages: A-C, D-L, M-R, and S-Z. At the top and bottom of each page are individual letters of the alphabet linked to the corresponding letters within the index. In addition to this mode of navigation, viewers can scroll up or down within each of the four pages.
Included here are beneficial species listed by common and latin names, pest species listed by common and latin names, and plant species and crops associated with these beneficial and pest species.
Charles D. Hunter's Suppliers of Beneficial Organisms in North America (off-site) may be used to locate suppliers of beneficial organisms identified using this Web site.
