We will be demonstrating the UC Interactive Tutorial for Biological Control of Insects and Mites. This CD-ROM program was developed as a teaching tool for students in biology, pest management or biological control courses as well as for continuing education of pest management professionals and Master Gardeners. The program covers more than 60 beneficial species, 75 presentation screens and 24 interactive games and quizzes. Also on display will be excerpts from the Natural Enemies Handbook: The Illustrated Guide to Biological Pest Control. Both these products are available from the University of California online catalog at http://anrcatalog.ucdavis.edu. Further information about them can also be found at http://www.ipm.ucdavis.edu.
