Talk:Ecological pesticides

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

1. I do not like the term 'Ecologic' - not found in any dictionary around here - 'ecological' perhaps, but where is the evidence?

2. Pest management techniques should be evidence-based - with registrations, commercial products or peer-reviewed scientific papers - a useful reference is:

  • Copping L.G. (ed.) (2004). The Manual of Biocontrol Agents (formerly the Biopesticide Manual) 3rd Edition. British Crop Production Council (BCPC), Farnham, Surrey UK.

3. Microbial agents are substantially different from these materials - which can at best be descibed as 'plant extracts' - and products are rarely accompanied with any toxicological data.
