This monograph contains four chapters, each of which provides a
different perspective on biopesticides. Chapter One concerns the
use of biopesticides in sustainable agriculture, including the
interactions between biopesticides and chemical pesticides,
production issues, and opportunities for future research. Chapter
Two describes the bottom-up approach for using Bacillus
thuringiensis (Bt) as a biopesticide and for enhancing host plant
resistance against major foliage feeders through deployment of
suitable cry genes. Chapter Three reviews strategies for mitigating
the spread of Bt resistance and improving insecticidal activity
against Bt-susceptible pests. Lastly, Chapter Four aims to revise,
debate, and evaluate the effects of Bt as phosphate solubilizing
and phosphorus uptake by plant establishment.
