Pesticide Effects on Arthropod Natural Enemies: A Database Summary

摘要

Pesticide impact research on arthropod natural enemies is summarized here as apreface to the remaining chapters of this volume, which discuss susceptibility, sublethal and ecological effects, selectivity, resistance, and resistance management. The presentation documents the amount of side-effect testing that is an on-going part of IPM research. The overview was derived from analysis of a database (SELCTV) which contains information from literature published mainly from 1950 to 1986. Seldom has database technology been used to summarize pesticide side-effect data on natural enemies. To our knowledge, no global review of the topic has been attempted in a database format.
