Since the initial suggestion of using insect hormones or their mimics as the third-generation
insecticides, great strides have been made in the discovery of three classes of such insect …

This chapter gives an overview of hormones in pest management covering aspects
including physiology of insect hormones; concept of insect growth regulators (IGRs); a brief …

Chemicals which interfere and induce alterations in the development and growth processes
of insects are commonly known as insect hormones, hormone mimics, insect developmental …

Two major groups of insect growth regulators (IGRs) are presently envisaged for possible
pest control agents, chitin synthesis inhibitors (CSIs) and juvenile hormone analogs (JHAs) …

The future of insect control looked very bright in the 1950s and 1960s with new insecticides
constantly coming onto the market. Today, however, whole classes of pesticide chemistry …

New approaches to the development of insect control agents have been revealed through
the description of natural and synthetic compounds capable of interfering with the processes …

Insect growth regulators (IGRs) have been proposed as agents for the control of insect pests.
These compounds disrupt the normal development of insects by mimicking juvenile …

For each human being on earth there are 300,000,000 insects. Along with their marine
relatives, the crustaceans, they constitute most of the animal biomass of our planet …

The control of stored product insects with insect growth regulators (IGRs) was heralded in
the 1970s as a potentially valuable alternative to the use of traditional insecticides. Initially …

Abstract In 1967 Carroll Williams summarized several years of campaigning for a revolution
in pesticide chemistry with the publication of an article entitled “Third Generation Pesticides.” …
