Klappentext zu „Biorational Control of Arthropod Pests “
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 use of synthetic pesticides in plant protection and to use more alternative and novel me- ods for pest control or biorational control are the challenges of pest control for the twenty-first century. The term biorational (biological + rational) pesticides can be defined as the use of specific and selective chemicals, often with a unique modes of action, that are compatible with natural enemies and the environment, with minimal effect on n- target organisms. Biorational control is based on a diversity of chemical, biological and physical approaches for controlling insect pests which resultsin minimum risk to man and the environment.
This book deals with various approaches for arthropod pest control. One approach is based on disrupting the activity of specific biochemical sites such as neuropeptides, ecdysone and juvenile hormones or tyramine, octopamine and GABA receptors. Another approach is the use of natural products obtained from tropical plants and other biological systems for pest control. Finally, the exploiting of genetically modified insects, plants and symbionts along with male/female call disturbance are important novel tools in crop protection.
Countermeasures for resistance to biorational control agents using advanced biological and biochemical approaches are discussed.
