Amylase and Protease Inhibitors as Alternative Against Herbivorous Insect

  • Chapter
Book cover Coffee Biotechnology and Quality

Abstract

Insects are no doubt the highest economically important phytosanitary problem for many cultivated plants; since they attacks different organs from the early development stages to the steps next to harvesting, thus causing severe losses in production as well as the product quality. Integrated pest management strategy (IPM), which aims at reducing the damage and insect population level is a useful strategy for this (Bustillo 2000). The control measures that have been considered are the chemical control, use of parasitoids, entomopathogens, cultural control and the development of plants resistant to plague.
