While the use of pesticides has undoubtedly lead to significant gains in agricultural production and reduction in disease transmission, it has also led to major problems: health concerns for both users of pesticides and the general public, the emergence of resistance in pest populations, and environmental problems.
The book examines the development of legislation designed to control and restrict the use of pesticides, and the emergence of Integrated Pest Management (IPM) and the use of biological control agents as part of policy to protect the environment and encourage the sustainable use of pesticides. Finally, the use of new technologies in pest control are discussed including the use of genetic modification, targeted pesticide application, and the use of drones, alongside basic requirements for IPM, including crop rotations, closed seasons and adoption of plant varieties with resistance to pests and diseases.
