Insect Antifeedants

Overuse of neurotoxic insecticides can lead insect resistance. A new range of insecticides, antifeedants, has been developed to avoid the problems associated with conventional neurotoxins. Insect Antifeedants is the first of its kind on feeding deterrents. It offers detailed description of bioassay methods, treating all synthetic and natural antifeedants. The author covers structural activity relationships, mechanisms of action, and practical applications. He presents the chemistry and bio-efficacy of individual antifeedant compounds in data-sheet form. The book is an at-a-glance reference to all active compounds, information on structure, physical data, bioefficacy, and toxicology.
