Insect pheromones were first identified in the late 1950s, and much research has been directed to their potential as pest controlling agents. The initial research focused on butterflies and moths because of their significance as agricultural pests, but other insect orders are now being studied as well. Here, leading researchers survey this current work, filling a gap in the literature. Topics include termites, grasshoppers, aphids, scale insects, sawflies, beetles, midges, fruit flies, and bees. The volume is a valuable resource for students and researchers in entomology and crop science.
