Governmental policies committed to the institution of integrated pest management (IPM) programs, the increasing resistance developed by insects and pathogens to chemical pesticides, and the public concern about chemicals in general has initiated a re-evaluation of pesticide use. increasingly, farmers in developed and developing nations are looking toward the use of natural materials as pest-control agents (
