“…This range of influence surpasses their realm of practical use, encompassing the general public and adding pressure to regulatory agencies. Despite their recognized importance for food production as well as human and animal health (31,104,120), the layperson's perception of pesticides is largely negative, especially when synthetic compounds are considered (11,15,18,29).…”

“…Insecticides and the acaricides of the older generation, encompassing four pesticide groups, were replaced in part by a plethora of 25 main groups of nonpersistent compounds with distinct modes of action and improved safety profiles (25, 52). These new groups, however, are amenable to a higher number of applications per year, resulting in higher amounts of pesticides being applied, particularly under intensive agriculture production and vector control (105,117,120).…”

More than six decades after the onset of wide-scale commercial use of synthetic pesticides and more than fifty years after Rachel Carson's Silent Spring, pesticides, particularly insecticides, arguably remain the most influential pest management tool around the globe. Nevertheless, pesticide use is still a controversial issue and is at the regulatory forefront in most countries. The older generation of insecticide groups has been largely replaced by a plethora of novel molecules that exhibit improved human and environmental safety profiles. However, the use of such compounds is guided by their short-term efficacy; the indirect and subtler effects on their target species, namely arthropod pest species, have been neglected. Curiously, comprehensive risk assessments have increasingly explored effects on nontarget species, contrasting with the majority of efforts focused on the target arthropod pest species. The present review mitigates this shortcoming by hierarchically exploring within an ecotoxicology framework applied to integrated pest management the myriad effects of insecticide use on arthropod pest species.

“…Anecdotally, in unpublished field trials in the UK, 50% of the samples of tortrix larvae from chemically untreated plots were parasitised by various parasitoid species, but it is estimated that 10-20% parasitism is more typical [196]. In Swedish apple orchards, following the withdrawal of azinphosmethyl (a broad-spectrum product applied to control codling moth), population densities of A. orana and A. podana increased, but no increase in damage was observed [197]. Although several factors were thought to contribute to this response, the use of more selective PPP appears to have had a positive impact on predation and parasitism.…”

Growers of organic tree fruit face challenges in controlling some pests more easily suppressed by broad-spectrum insecticides in conventionally managed orchards. In recent decades, there has been a move towards organically growing varieties normally reliant on synthetic chemical pesticides (e.g., Gala), often to meet retailer/consumer demands. This inevitably makes crop protection in organic orchards more challenging, as modern varieties can be less tolerant to pests. In addition, there have been substantial reductions in plant protection product (PPP) approvals, resulting in fewer chemical options available for integrated pest management (IPM)-maintained orchards. Conversely, the organic management of fruit tree pests involves many practices that could be successfully implemented in conventionally grown crops, but which are currently not. These practices could also be more widely used in IPM-maintained orchards, alleviating the reliance on broad-spectrum PPP. In this review, we evaluate organic practices, with a focus on those that could be incorporated into conventional apple and pear production. The topics cover cultural control, biological control, physical and pest modifications. While the pests discussed mainly affect European species, many of the methods could be used to target other global pests for more environmentally sustainable practices
