Olfactory Concepts of Insect Control - Alternative to insecticides V
Evolution gave rise to a prominent insect diversity at every level of ecological niche. Since then, hordes of insects have threatened human and cattle health as well as most of all green lands and agricultural crops. Now, the insect problem expands from m

Foreword
The International Academy Partnership (IAP) has an ongoing project examining the diversity of factors that affect food security and sustainable agriculture in different countries of the world, and one obvious common theme is the impact of climate change. There are questions about how the impact of marked and often unpredictable changes in environment conditions will directly affect the growth of crops. In addition, one must consider how these impact on the distribution and dynamics of both pestiferous and beneficial insects associated with agricultural production. At many levels the approaches taken to sustain agricultural productivity will differ between countries. However, in all instances there will be a need to control pest species while ensuring that the interventions employed have minimal effects on beneficial species, such as pollina
