Abstract
The use of insecticides is often advisable and sometimes essential; when a crop is threatened, it is necessary to take action which must be swift and effective. Integrated pest management is a concept which is now generally known and widely accepted and it is to be hoped that less effort will be expended in the future on partisan and often biased controversy, and that the judicious use of insecticides will be accepted as an integral part of pest management strategy.
