Among the highlights of this book are the use of nanotechnology to
increase potency of available insecticides, the use of genetic
engineering techniques for controlling insect pests, the development of
novel insecticides that bind to unique biochemical receptors, the
exploration of natural products as a source for environmentally
acceptable insecticides, and the use of insect genomics and cell lines
for determining biological and biochemical modes of action of new
insecticides.
