Preface The development of biopesticides based on microbes is an area of growing interest worldwide. Harnessing the power of naturally occurring antagonists of pests and diseases has always been an attractive proposal. We are surrounded by many instances of natural enemies keeping potential pests in check, so the idea of using natural enemies to reduce the pest issues, due in part to monoculture and intensive farming, has appeal. However, as has been repeatedly realised, a lot of research is needed to make this a reality for any specific pest. The Methods in Molecular Biology (MiMB) series has been useful to many researchers, as few articles describe methods in sufficient detail to be able to reproduce without many learning errors. This can make learning a new techniques a frustrating and even costly business. Books which focus on the details of specif
