TLDR
Insecticide research, having passed through several Golden Ages, is now in a renaissance of integrating chemicals and biologicals for sustainable pest control with human safety.Abstract:
Insecticide research led to the first "complete" victories in combatting pests almost 50 years ago with the chlorinated hydrocarbons followed quickly by the organophosphates, methylcarbamates, and pyrethroids--all neuroactive chemicals. This Golden Age of Discovery was the source of most of our current insecticides. The challenge then became health and the environment, a Golden Age met with selective and degradable compounds. Next the focus shifted to resistance, novel biochemical targets, and new chemical approaches for pest control. The current Golden Age of Genetic Engineering has curtailed, but is unlikely to eliminate, chemical use on major crops. Insecticide research, having passed through several Golden Ages, is now in a renaissance of integrating chemicals and biologicals for sustainable pest control with human safety.read more

Status of the invasive wasp species, Vespula germanica and Polistes dominula in South Africa, and the feasibility of various management strategies
TL;DR: Results suggest that all of the selected EPN and EPF species have the potential to be effective inundative biological control agents used within an integrated management programme for the control of P. dominula and V. germanica in South Africa.

Safer and more effective insecticides for the future
John E. Casida,Gary B. Quistad +1 more
TL;DR: The use of synthetic organic insecticides has served for the past half century as the principal means to control insect-borne diseases and minimize losses in food and fibre production from pest insect attack as mentioned in this paper.
