Substitution of broad-range insectieides with low-toxieity, seleetive insecticides against insects that are not controlled by Bt cotton. As noted above, for example, two insect growth regulators were introdueed as part of an IPM program in Arizona in 1996 that substituted for pyrethroid and other inseetieides used for control of the whitefly Bemisia [29].

These research programmes involve the housefly, Musca domestica, and the tobacco whitefly, Bemisia tabaci. Both are based in the laboratory in the firm belief that for these and many other pests, much of the data needed for such descriptive modelling can be collected more quickly and with greater precision under laboratory conditions than in the field. There is, however, a very important proviso to this statement, since for laboratory experiments to be of direct practical relevance they must simulate closely both the ecology and control of insects under field conditions (.7). The purpose of this paper is to outline the philosophy and objectives of these two programmes and to highlight some achievements to date.

Bistrifluron (DBI-3204) is a benzoylphenyl urea, recently introduced by Dongbu Hannong of Korea, that is active against whiteflies Triakurodes vaporar-iorum and Bemisia tahaci) and Lepidoptera pests (e.g., Spodoptera eocigua, and Plu-tella xylostella) [77]. This compound has also shown promise for use as a bait for the control of ants and cockroaches in domestic environments [78]. 

Whiteflies (e.g., Bemisia tahaci) and spider mites (e.g., Tetranychus urticae) belong to the most serious sucking pests in many cropping systems. They have developed a high degree of resistance to many chemical classes of insecticides and...
