Review: "Since the identification of insect pheromones in the late 1950s, much attention has been paid to these very potent behaviour-modifying chemicals as pest controlling agents. Most of this interest has been geared towards Lepidoptera, in particular moths as they comprise the major group of agricultural pests worldwide. Other insect orders are now the subject of much research and this book fills the gap in the literature. It presents research from leading authorities on the most important insect groups, detailing the current progress of research in that area and will be essential reading for students and researchers in entomology and crop protection."--Jacket.
