註釋Greater use of biological control, utilizing natural predation, parasitism or other natural mechanisms, is an environmentally friendly alternative to chemical pesticides, which are becoming less readily available due to increasing resistance problems and the prohibition of some substances. This book addresses the challenges of insufficient information and imperfectly understood regulatory processes involved in biological alternatives through an interdisciplinary approach providing an internationally comparative analysis on the registration of biopesticides and the best way forward. Biopesticides is an essential read for researchers, students and professionals in political and biological sciences.

`Farmers are striving to grow enough food to meet the needs of an ever-increasing world population, while ensuring that their methods are environmentally sustainable, support biodiversity and provide a range of other ecosystem services. Biopesticides hold the promise to help meet these key imperatives in the future.' Professor Philip Lowe Director, UK Research Councils' Rural Economy and Land Use Programme
