Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Botanical insecticides continue to gain acceptance in pest management, both in highly-industrialized food production and for smallholder farmer crop protection. There are also emerging opportunities for botanicals in vector control, veterinary pest management and structural pest management. This Special Issue will focus on recent progress on the development and global utilization of botanicals, while identifying key challenges to the success of these products.
