Biopesticides

Biopesticide: Volume Two, the latest release in the Advances in Bioinoculant series, provides an updated overview on the active substances utilized in current bioinsecticides, along with information on which of them can be used for integrated pest management programs in agro-ecosystems. The book presents a comprehensive look at the development of novel solutions against new targets, also introducing new technologies that enhance the efficacy of already available active substances. Finally, readers will find insights into the advanced molecular studies on insect microbial community diversity that are opening new frontiers in the development of innovative pest management strategies.

This book will be valuable to those prioritizing agro biodiversity management to address optimal productizing and enhanced food security.

• Explores the increasing number of newly introduced and improved products that can be used alone or in rotation or combination with conventional chemicals
• Promotes the importance of, and tactics for, managing the agro ecosystem surrounding food security
• Provides state of the art description of various approaches and techniques for the real-world application of biopesticides
