WAR between man and pests predates documented history. With time the fight
has intensified and man's arsenal has expanded to include deadly chemical
weapons with unintended backlash on the user and the environment. Therefore,
the development of specific, yet environment-friendly, pesticides became
imperative. The study of insects, fungi and bacteria gave scientists the
clue to the Achilles heel of the pests and helped devise safe pesticides.
This lucidly written, profusely illustrated book details the evolution of
the pesticide industry and highlights the development of novel biopesticides.
