Preface
Insecticides are products that help to minimise the damage to plants, animals and human
beings by controlling pest insects. From the point of view of protecting cultivated or wild-
growing plants, insects are the most important group of pests because theyrepresent the
most abundant animal group. Of the approximately 1.2 million known insect species, 5,000
to 10,000 are economically noxious,and their influence on reduced quantity and quality of
plants depends on numerous abiotic and biotic factors. The most important biotic factor is
the role of humans, who with appropriate control measures for pest insects can achieve the
desired result – the reduction of individual abundance under the economic threshold of
damage. However,with unsuitable control measures,humans can also demolish the natural
balance in agroecosystems,resulting in larger noxiousness of harmful organisms or a de‐
creased production economy.
Until the Second World War, only some insecticides were known. Some inorganic substan‐
ces (arsenious, leaden, baric) were used to control biting insects;on smaller scales, plant ex‐
tracts (tobacco, rotenone) were used against sucking insects; and carbolines or mineral oils
were usedfor thewinter spraying of fruit trees. Close to and after the Second World War,
organic insecticides were chemically synthesised, and this method spread worldwide in the
fifties.These synthesised insecticides were chlorinate carbon hydrogen (DDT, lindane, en‐
drine) and organic phosphor esters, which control biting and sucking insects.The develop‐
ment ofcarbamates, synthetic pyretroids, neonicotinoids, octadiazyonids, antifeedants, and
inhibitors and regulators of insect development followed.The last two groups along with
natural and plant insecticides are an important part of integrated plant protection and other
forms of environmentally friendly production of food, ornamental plants or forage feed.
Their efficacies, when compared to the groups of insecticidesfirst mentioned,areseveral
times smaller but they can offer protection measures (usage of pheromone traps, colored
sticky boards, natural enemies, usage of resistant plant varieties, plant hygiene, etc.)when
combined with other plants to attain better synergy and consequently reduce the abundance
of pest insects.
Experts and users of insecticides are aware of the great importance of this group of plant
protection products in providing sufficient quantities of food for the fast-growing human
population and feed for livestock, which isan important food source for the majority of the
human population.Still, many negative examples of improper usage of insecticides from the
past and
present warn us about the great attention necessary when using insecticides. The
application of insecticides, especially the improper application, can cause many negative
outcomes. The number of selective insecticide products is relatively small; thus, many insec‐
ticides demonstrate a non-targeted influence on other insect species includingbeneficialspe‐
cies. A smaller number of natural enemies can also influence the larger abundance and
noxiousness of other species of insects, which before the usage of nonselective insecticides
did not have any important economical meaning in agroecosystems.The second difficulty
when unsuitable usage of insecticide occursis the phenomenon of resistance and the fact
that,until now, more than 500 species of insects and mites were documented. Althoughthe
price of insecticides is quite low when compared to natural enemies, the cost of insecticides
increases due to the appearance of secondary pests, the appearance of resistance, govern‐
ment measures and the legal procedures obliged to healthy and integrated food and envi‐
ronment influence.
In this book, experts from different continents present the advantages and problems when
applying insecticides and the possibilities for using other measures. The aim of this book is
to educateresearchers, scientists, students and end users (farmers, hobby producers)about
insecticides and their usage.
This book is dedicated to my family, my wife Milena, daughtersŠpela, Neža and Urška, and
sons, Gašper, Miha and Peter, who assisted me in many ways. I extend to them my love and
appreciation.
