  • Biorational Control of Arthropod Pests

    Application and Resistance Management

    Edited by Isaac Ishaaya, A. Rami Horowitz ...
    Series series Biomedical and Life Sciences (R0)
    For nearly 50 years, pest control was mostly based on broad-spectrum conv- tional insecticides such as organochlorines, organophosphates, carbamates and pyrethroids. However, the severe adverse effects of pesticides on the environment, problems of resistance reaching crisis proportions and public protests led to stricter regulations and legislation aimed at reducing their use. Ways to reduce the ... Read more
