For nearly 50 years, pest control was mostly based on
broad-spectrum conv- tional insecticides such as organochlorines,
organophosphates, carbamates and pyrethroids. However, the severe
adverse effects of pesticides on the environment, problems of
resistance reaching crisis proportions and public protests led to
stricter regulations and legislation aimed at reducing their use.
Ways to reduce the use of synthetic pesticides in plant protection
and to use more alternative and novel me- ods for pest control or
biorational control are the challenges of pest control for the
twenty-first century. The term biorational (biological + rational)
pesticides can be defined as the use of specific and selective
chemicals, often with a unique modes of action, that are compatible
with natural enemies and the environment, with minimal effect on n-
target organisms. Biorational control is based on a diversity of
chemical, biological and physical approaches for controlling insect
pests which results in minimum risk to man and the environment.
