Excerpt from The Potential Role of the Sterility Method for Insect Population Control With Special Reference to Combining This Method With Conventional Methods The release of sterile insects offers a useful new method for controlling or eliminating populations of certain insects. The merits and limitations of the method for use against the wide range of insects that we must contend with cannot be fully deter mined on the basis of current knowledge. However, with the information and experience already gained and further study of the basic principles involved, there is every reason to believe that the technique, used alone or integrated with other methods, can have broad application for the control or eradication of a number of our most destructive insects. The need is acute for more desirable, as well as more economical, ways to regulate populations of certain key insect species that cause high economic losses, and which, in addition, necessitate costly and continuing control efforts. Current control measures for some of these major pests contribute substantially to the accumulation of insecticides in our total environment. Moreover, to control key insect species, it is necessary to employ broad spectrum insecticides, which have adverse effects on natural enemies, necessitating a more intensive effort to control other pests. The sterile-insect technique will not be practical for controlling or eliminating established populations of most of our destructive insect species. The method will not be feasible for those that have a wide host range, are Sporadic in appearance, or which do not cause high economic losses. An insect pest might be of great importance on minor crops, but the total economic value of the crops may not justify the costly control or eradication programs that most likely would be involved in the mass production and release of large numbers of sterile insects. This same line of reasoning, however, may not hold for insects that have a restricted host range. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

The sterile insect technique (SIT) is an environment-friendly pest control method that fits into area-wide integrated pest management (AW-IPM) programmes. This book describes the principles and practice of SIT, frankly evaluating its strengths and weaknesses, successes and failures. SIT is useful against pests that have considerable impact on plant, animal and human health, and criteria are provided to guide in the selection of pests appropriate for SIT.

The sterile insect technique (SIT) is an environment-friendly method of pest control that integrates well into area-wide integrated pest management (AW-IPM) programmes. This book takes a generic, thematic, comprehensive, and global approach in describing the principles and practice of the SIT. The strengths and weaknesses, and successes and failures, of the SIT are evaluated openly and fairly from a scientific perspective. The SIT is applicable to some major pests of plant-, animal-, and human-health importance, and criteria are provided to guide in the selection of pests appropriate for the SIT. In the second edition, all aspects of the SIT have been updated and the content considerably expanded. A great variety of subjects is covered, from the history of the SIT to improved prospects for its future application. The major chapters discuss the principles and technical components of applying sterile insects. The four main strategic options in using the SIT — suppression, containment, prevention, and eradication — with examples of each option are described in detail. Other chapters deal with supportive technologies, economic, environmental, and management considerations, and the socio-economic impact of AW-IPM programmes that integrate the SIT. In addition, this second edition includes six new chapters covering the latest developments in the technology: managing pathogens in insect mass-rearing, using symbionts and modern molecular technologies in support of the SIT, applying post-factory nutritional, hormonal, and semiochemical treatments, applying the SIT to eradicate outbreaks of invasive pests, and using the SIT against mosquito vectors of disease. This book will be useful reading for students in animal-, human-, and plant-health courses. The in-depth reviews of all aspects of the SIT and its integration into AW-IPM programmes, complete with extensive lists of scientific references, will be of great value to researchers, teachers, animal-, human-, and plant-health practitioners, and policy makers.

Science and technology are cultural phenomena. Expert knowledge is generated amid the conflicts of a society and in turn supplies fuel to fire yet further change and new clashes. This essay on economic entomology is a case study on how cultural events and forces affected the creation of scientific and technical knowledge. The time period emphasized is 1945 to 1980. My initial premises for selecting relevant data for the story were ultimately not of much use. Virtually all debates about insect control since 1945 have been centered around the environmental and health hazards associated with insecticides. My first but inadequate conclusion was that the center of interest lay between those who defended the chemicals and those who advocated the use of nonchemical control methods. With this formulation of the problem, I was drawn to an analysis of how the chemical manufacturers had managed to dominate and even corrupt the work of entomological scientists, farmers, members of Congress, and regulators in the USDA and EPA. My own contribu tions to a policy study at the National Academy of Sciences were based 1 on this premise. More recently, Robert van den Bosch developed the 2 "corruption theme" in considerable detail.
