This book highlights the need to exploit the full potential of modern biotechnological approaches in IPM so as to reduce over reliance on chemical pesticides. The potential for integration of biotechnology with IPM, the current trends in biotechnology for pest management, their implications and future prospects are neatly analysed with particular reference to genetic engineering of natural enemies and transgenic plants for IPM, particularly in developing countries. Biotechnology in biosystematics, improved natural enemy culture and production, and improved evaluation of natural enemies have been discussed as propositions for sound IPM programmes.
