• Fungal entomopathogens: new insights on their ecology (2009, background): “These losses account for 40% of potential production (Thacker 2002) and despite a marked increase in pesticide use, crop losses have remained relatively constant (Oerke 2006).”
• Botanical insecticides, deterrents, and repellents in modern agriculture and an increasingly regulated world. (2006, background): “INTRODUCTION The practice of using plant derivatives, or botanical insecticides as we now know them, in agriculture dates back at least two millennia in ancient China, Egypt, Greece, and India (86, 89).”
• Past and Current Prospects for the Use of Botanicals and Plant Allelochemicals in Integrated Pest Management (2008, background): “Several recent books and chapters have reviewed biopesticides of plant origin (Weinzierl, 1998; Copping, 2001; Koul & Dhaliwal, 2001; Thacker, 2002; Regnault-Roger et al. 2005a, b).”
• Another View on Bt Proteins - How Specific are They and What Else Might They Do? (2006, background): “…about 100 bacteria were identified as exo- and endopathogens 0973-483X/06/1-50©2006 (KRF) 2 Biopesticides International Vol. 2, no. 1 of arthropods (Thacker, 2002), only a few are used in pest management (e.g. Bacillus popilliae, Bacillus sphaericus, Serratia entomophila) and only one, namely Bt,…”
• Comparing impacts of plant extracts and pure allelochemicals and implications for pest control. (2009, background): “These links might have provided an opportunity for this specialized knowledge to be used directly for protection of crops against pests [29].”
• The development, regulation and use of biopesticides for integrated pest management (2011, background): “This is caused by a fall in the discovery rate of new active 65 molecules and the increasing costs of registration [12].”
