Biotechnological Approaches for Pest Management and Ecological Sustainability

This comprehensive treatise explores how biotechnology can be used in pest management for sustainable crop production, the biosafety of transgenic crops, and environmental conservation. It examines how bioassay techniques can be used to evaluate mapping populations and the efficacy of transgenic plants for pest management. The book also presents an in-depth analysis of the interaction of transgenic plants with non-target organisms in the environment and discusses the biosafety of food, feed, and forage derived from genetically modified crops. The author covers the consequences of gene flow, along with applications for the improvement of microbial pesticides and the discovery of new insecticide molecules.
