Die Schadlingsbekampfung hat in den letzten lahren erstaunliche Fortschritte sowohl hinsichtlich der Entwicklung neuer Substanzen als auch in Richtung auf grundsiitzliche neue Methoden gemacht. Die Aufkiarung der Bioiogie und Chemie sowie die heutigen M6g­lichkeiten der Anwendung von Pheromonen stehen deshalb am Beginn dieses Bandes. Ganz neu ist die Erkenntnis, daB sich durch chemische Verbindungen die Ausbildung des Chitin-Panzers von Insekten verhindem laBt. Mikrobielle Pflanzenschutzmittel, nicht unumstritten, eriangen wachsende Bedeutung. Die bereits kiassi­schen Phosphorsaureester-Praparate konnten doch noch verbessert werden. Bereits diese Beispiele zeigen, wie notwendig es war, den Fortschritten der Schadlingsbekampfung zu foigen. 1m nachsten Band werden diesensationell anmutenden Fortschritte der Entwicklung von Verbindungen, die sich von pyrethrum­Inhaltsstoffen ableiten, geschildert werden; sie er6ffnen Forschung, Industrie und Anwendem neue Aspekte.
