N2  - "Biotechnological Approaches for Pest Management and Ecological Sustain-ability is a comprehensive treatise on host plant resistance to insects and the application of modern tools of biotechnology for pest management. Deployment of genetically engineered crops for pest management will reduce insecticide use and the residues in food and food products as well as minimize their harmful effects on non-target organisms in the environment. Adoption of genetically engineered plants depends on developing a full understanding of the interaction of transgenic crops with non-target organisms and their impact on the environment. It is in this context that this book will serve as a useful source of information for researchers, extension workers, and research planners in the twenty-first century."--Jacket
