Printed on acid-free paper Springer is part of Springer Science+Business Media (www.springer.com) P reface D iverse methods to combat insect pests have been contrived throughout modern history: inorganic, botanical and natural pesticides have been mostly exploited during the nineteenth century, and in the twentieth century, signifi c ant progress in the synthesis of new chemicals has resulted in a discovery of structures exhibiting insecticidal activity. B road-spectrum conventional insecticides, such as organochlorines, organophos- phates, carbamates and pyrethroids were developed and used for controlling insect pests over the past fi v e decades, resulting in reduced losses in agricultural yield. However, many of the conventional methods using broad-spectrum insecticides and others have come under scrutiny because of their undesirable effects on man and the environment. In addition, resistance problems reaching crisis proportion have led to stricter regulations and minimize their use in various agricultural systems. The concept of “Integrated Control” based on economic thresholds and injury levels has been implemented within an ecological framework, where chemical and biological controls could thrive together to form the basis for the modern Integrated Pest Management (IPM) concept. T he use of alternatives based on IPM along with novel approaches for developing novel insecticides acting selectively on a specifi c site in an insect group and compa- tible with natural enemies and the environment is one of the important challenges of our current book. One of such approaches is based on disrupting the activity of biochemical sites acting on transcription factors such as the basic Helix-Loop-Helix family, anti-juvenile hormone agents that target juvenile hormone (JH) biosynthetic enzymes, G protein coupled receptors (GPCR) and bursicon as targets for insect control. Another approach is the use of biotechnology or the genetic such as gene silencing (RNA-interference) and Bt-crops. Other sections of the book were devoted to the plant’s natural products, optical manipulation and the use of nanotechnology for improving insect control methods. T he authors of the various chapters have a wealth of experience and are considered world leaders specializing in novel approaches of insect pest control.
