چکیده
Abstract Invasive insect pests are a significant and accelerating threat to agricultural productivity, they degrade wilderness areas, reduce quality of life in urban zones. Introduction biological control, the introduction, release, establishment host-specific efficacious natural enemies, is an effective management tool for permanently suppressing invasive pest populations over vast often levels that may no longer cause economic or environmental damage. However, introduction control programs reactive: only initiated after has established, spread, causing damage requires mitigation. Host specificity host range testing enemies use program against can take years complete. During this time, target population continues increase, invades new inflicts Proactive research identify prior their species have high invasion potential likely once established. Natural selected, screened, if sufficiently host-specific, approved release advance anticipated pest. Following detection determination incipient cannot be eradicated, already liberated into infested areas. This proactive approach could significantly project development time post-invasion, thereby lessening opportunities build,

In 2011, practitioners and advocates of Integrated Pest Management (IPM) find themselves addressing agricultural, societal, and political pressures worldwide resulting from human population growth. This growth brings simultaneous burdens of sustaining a steady food supply; these include preventing losses from pests, dealing with increased human global travel, which in turn intensifies opportuni...
متن کاملInsect defence: its impact on microbial control of insect pests
Insects are the earliest and most diverse taxon of animals accounting for more species than all other animals put together because of their high reproductive potential and varied niche. Though cellular reactions like phagocytosis, nodulation and encapsulation and humoral reaction through secretion of antibacterial proteins are known for fungus and bacterial invaders, little is known about insec...
