Few individuals can be unmoved by the impact of molecular biology.
Advances in the discipline over four decades have progressed at a
rate unrivalled in other scientific areas. In its formative years,
molecular biology examined the chemical and physical structures of
biological molecules, subsequently elucidated the nature and
function of DNA and evolved into molecular genetics. From this
exponential growth of scientific knowledge, tremendous
opportunities were created for the application of molecular
approaches to solve problems in applied biology. This book
describes the new productive association between novel state
of-the-art molecular biology and crop protection, a discipline with
a sound heritage in traditional applied biology and chemistry.
Never before has crop protection faced such diverse challenges. It
is charged with improving global food supplies and with the
pressure of population increases of one billion in the next decade.
But to consider protection of crops simply in terms of weed, pest
and disease control would be a gross oversimplification of the
mission. Rather, crop protectionists must develop measures which
will maintain crop yield and quality without harm to the
environment. Chemical, cultural and biological approaches to crop
protection must also fulfil evolving legislative demands and
address the issues which confer public acceptability."
