Role of Entomopathogenic Bacteria in Insect Pest Management

About this book

This book highlights the important contribution of entomopathogenic bacteria in transforming the management of insect pests. It meticulously details their mechanisms, historical development, and crucial role in integrated pest management (IPM) strategies. With a focus on sustainable and environmentally friendly pest control, the book categorizes and explains various entomopathogenic bacteria, providing insights into their mode of action, advantages, and disadvantages. It also compiles essential information about insecticidal toxins produced by these bacteria and their historical context, spanning over a century of research. Additionally, the book sheds light on ongoing research, including genetic engineering, mutualistic relationships, and resistance management. Through its holistic approach, this book underscores the significance of entomopathogenic bacteria in achieving the UN Sustainable Development Goals and various ecosystem services. It offers a vital perspective on their ecological, economic, and policy implications, making it important for those seeking sustainable solutions in agriculture and pest management. This book is intended for professionals and researchers in the fields of entomology, agriculture, and pest management.
