“…Many experts promote IPM as the best way forward, and the EU has placed it centrally within its 2009 Sustainable Use Directive on pesticides [13]. IPM is a systems approach that combines different crop protection practices with careful monitoring of pests and their natural enemies [14,15]. The idea behind IPM is that combining different practices together overcomes the shortcomings of individual practices.…”

Over the past 50 years, crop protection has relied heavily on synthetic chemical pesticides, but their availability is now declining as a result of new legislation and the evolution of resistance in pest populations. Therefore, alternative pest management tactics are needed. Biopesticides are pest management agents based on living micro-organisms or natural products. They have proven potential for pest management and they are being used across the world. However, they are regulated by systems designed originally for chemical pesticides that have created market entry barriers by imposing burdensome costs on the biopesticide industry. There are also significant technical barriers to making biopesticides more effective. In the European Union, a greater emphasis on Integrated Pest Management (IPM) as part of agricultural policy may lead to innovations in the way that biopesticides are regulated. There are also new opportunities for developing biopesticides in IPM by combining ecological science with post-genomics technologies. The new biopesticide products that will result from this research will bring with them new regulatory and economic challenges that must be addressed through joint working between social and natural scientists, policy makers and industry.

“…IPM is an ecologically based pest control strategy that relies heavily on scouting and greater awareness of the crop [20]. It incorporates biological control, cultural techniques, host resistance, and use of approved products to combat diseases and insect pests (Table 1).…”

Organically Grown Soybean Production in the USA: Constraints and Management of Pathogens and Insect Pests

et al. 2016

Soybean is the most produced and consumed oil seed crop worldwide. In 2013, 226 million metric tons were produced in over 70 countries. Organically produced soybean represents less than 0.1% of total world production. In the USA, the certified organic soybean crop was grown on 53 thousand ha or 0.17% of the total soybean acreage in the USA (32 million ha) in 2011. A gradual increase in production of organically grown soybean has occurred since the inception of organic labeling due to increased human consumption of soy products and increased demand for organic soybean meal to produce organic animal products. Production constraints caused by pathogens and insect pests are often similar in organic and non-organic soybean production, but management between the two systems often differs. In general, the non-organic, grain-type soybean crop are genetically modified higher-yielding cultivars, often with disease and pest resistance, and are grown with the use of synthetic pesticides. The higher value of organically produced soybean makes production of the crop an attractive option to some farmers. This article reviews production and uses of organically grown soybean in the USA, potential constraints to production caused by pathogens and insect pests, and management practices used to reduce the impact of these constraints.

“…They occupy intermediate or higher positions in their food chains, thus undergoing accumulation of xenobiotics in their tissues and becoming a feasible alternative for environmental biomonitoring. Though it is unlikely that significant amounts of organophosphorus compounds could persist after the digestion and therefore be stored successively by higher members of the food chain, the position in the chain can influence strongly the pesticide bioaccumulation (Flint and Van der Bosch, 1981). And though the persistence of OPs in the environment is relatively short, residual life of some OP pesticides such as leptophos and fenamiphos is longer.…”
