It was our intention and goal to bring together m Biopestzcides Use and
Delavery the latest advances in the science and technology of the evolving
field of biopesticides In the context of crop protectton, btopesttcides are a
key component of integrated pest management (IPM) programs, m which
biopesticides are delivered to crops m inundative quantities, vs the moculative
approach, which is charactertstic of classical biological control. Although
there are several definitions of biopesttcides m the literature, we chose to
define them as either microbials themselves or products derived from
microbials, plants, and other biological entities.
