Insecticides with Novel Modes of Action: An Overview

  • Chapter
Insecticides with Novel Modes of Action

Part of the book series: Applied Agriculture ((APPLAGRIC))

Abstract

Conventional insecticides such as chlorinated hydrocarbons, organophosphates, carbamates and pyrethroids were successful in controlling insect pests during the past five decades, minimizing thereby losses in agricultural yields. Unfortunately, many of these chemicals are harmful to man and beneficial organisms and cause ecological disturbances. Although considerable efforts have been made to minimize the adverse environmental impact of pesticides and to maximize food production and health of the human population and domestic animals, there is today a great demand for safer and more selective insecticides affecting specifically harmful pests, while sparing beneficial insect species and other organisms. Furthermore, the rapidly developing resistance to conventional insecticides provides the impetus to study new alternatives and more ecologically acceptable methods of insect control as part of integrated pest management (IPM) programs.
