Genetic Control. Manipulation of the mechanisms of inheritance of the insect pest populations has occurred most successhiUy through the mass release of steri1i2ed males, but a variety of other techniques have been studied, including the environmental use of chemostetilants and the mass introduction of deleterious mutations, eg, conditional lethals and chromosomal translocations (58 ndash 60) (see Genetic engineering). 

The techniques of molecular biology have particular potential for rapidly introducing small numbers of single genes. Unfortunately there is strong evidence that the complex compensation mechanisms that exist in plants, and the interactions between different whole-plant and biochemical responses to stress, will make the direct improvement of environmental stress tolerance in crop plants by genetic engineering rather more difficult...
