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 mocu- tive 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. In the
developed, industrial countries, primarily in Western Europe and
the United States, biopesticides are receiving more practical
attention, smce they are viewed as a means to reduce the load of
synthetic chemical pes- tides m an effort to provide for safer
foods and a cleaner envtronment. In the developing countries,
biopestictdes are viewed as having the potential to - ploit nattve
resources to produce crop protection agents that would replace
imported chemical pesticides and conserve much-needed hard
currencies These trends are well represented by the dynamic growth
of engineered crops expressing the delta-endotoxm insecticidal
protem crystals of Bacillus thuringzenszs (B. t ) m corn, cotton,
and potatoes and the development of - combinant B. t.
