Integrates research findings from several fields which focus on the interaction of pesticides with entomophagous arthropods. Emphasis is on those characteristics that make natural enemies unique in their responses to chemical toxins. Surveys the history of research in the field, and discusses susceptibility assessment, lethal, sublethal, ecological effects of pesticides, selectivity, resistance and resistance management. The author's approach is to promote conservation of natural enemies through proper use of physiologically selective pesticides.
