About the Book

This book will respond to the growing need to assess non-target impacts of biological pest control methods. So far, no review - let alone a handbook - exists on how to carry out the required assessments in practice, and what a particular outcome from an assessment might imply in terms of environmental risk or registration requirements. This book is intended to fill that gap. It should be of interest to many professional groups, including the scientific community involved in integrated pest management, crop protection, biological pest control, and ecology; regulatory authorities in countries around the world; ministries of agriculture; commercial companies developing biopesticides and firms carrying out environmental impact assessments; and universities with curricula in biological pest control and environmental sciences.

Table of Contents:
Section I General framework.- 1. Ecological risk assessment framework for biological control agents.- Section II Entomopathogenic fungi.- 2. Entomopathogenic fungi as classical biological control agents.- 3. Safety of Hyphomycete fungi as microbial control agents.- 4. Assessing the impacts of Metarhizium and Beauveria on bumblebees.- Section III Viral insecticides.- 5. Ecological impacts of virus insecticides: host range and non-target organisms.- Section IV Entomopathogenic microsporidia.- 6. Environmental safety of microsporidia.- Section V Bacterial insecticides.- 7. Environmental impacts of bacterial biopesticides.- 8. The safety of bacterial microbial agents used for black fly and mosquito control in aquatic environments.- 9. Environmental safety of inundative application of a naturally occurring biocontrol agent, Serratia entomophila.- Section VI Entomopathogenic nematodes.- 10. Biocontrol nematodes.- Section VII General aspects of environmental risk assessment.- 11. Ecological insights into factors affecting the non-target impact of microbial control agents.- 12. Regulatory requirements for ecotoxicological assessments of microbial insecticides — how relevant are they?.
