Effects of Pesticides on Environment
TL;DR: The chapter discusses the methods to eradicate the use of pesticides, the future impacts of the pesticide use the future of the world after eradicating pesticides and the environmental concerns related to them.

A Review on the Toxicity and Non-Target Effects of Macrocyclic Lactones in Terrestrial and Aquatic Environments
TL;DR: The results of this review clearly demonstrate that regarding environmental impacts many macrocyclic lactones are substances of high concern particularly with larval instars of invertebrates.
Book
Biological Control: Ecology and Applications
TL;DR: In this paper, a combination of historical analyses, theoretical models and case studies, with explicit links to invasion biology, are used to enhance our understanding of biological control interactions by combining theory and practical application.
Journal ArticleDOI
Mitigating the effects of insecticides on arthropod biological control at field and landscape scales
TL;DR: This work focuses on the effects of insecticides on biological control, and potential mitigation measures that can operate at different scales, and how to mitigate pesticide effects through habitat manipulation.
Journal ArticleDOI
Relative Toxicity and Residual Activity of Insecticides Used in Blueberry Pest Management: Mortality of Natural Enemies
TL;DR: The reduced-risk insecticide acetamiprid consistently caused significant acute effects, even after aging for 14 d, and Methoxyfenozide, novaluron, and chlorantraniliprole had low toxicity, and along with the organic products could be compatible with biological control.

The Sublethal Effects of Pesticides on Beneficial Arthropods
TL;DR: The different types of sublethal effects on beneficial arthropods, focusing mainly on honey bees and natural enemies, are characterized, and the methods used in these studies are described.
Journal ArticleDOI
The evolutionary impact of invasive species.
Harold A. Mooney,Elsa E. Cleland +1 more
TL;DR: This work explores the nature of these recent biotic exchanges and their consequences on evolutionary processes, and shows how flexibility in behavior, and mutualistic interactions, can aid in the success of invaders in their new environment.
Journal ArticleDOI
Sustainability of Transgenic Insecticidal Cultivars: Integrating Pest Genetics and Ecology
TL;DR: Theoretical and practical issues involved in implementing strategies to delay pest adaptation to insecticidal cultivars are reviewed and emphasis is placed on examining the "high dose"/refuge strategy that has become the goal of industry and regulatory authorities.
Journal ArticleDOI
Insect Pathogens as Biological Control Agents: Do They Have a Future?
TL;DR: Embedded entomopathogenic viruses, bacteria, fungi, nematodes, and protozoa as inundatively applied microbial control agents can be effective and serve as alternatives to broad-spectrum chemical insecticides.
Journal ArticleDOI
Economic, ecological, food safety, and social consequences of the deployment of bt transgenic plants.
TL;DR: Transgenic plants expressing insecticidal proteins from the bacterium, Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt), are revolutionizing agriculture and have shown positive economic benefits to growers and reduced the use of other insecticides.
