Biological control, along with host plant resistance is central to the pest management paradigm. To be more effective it has to integrate diverse programmes involving natural enemies and microbials (bacterial, viral and fungal), besides kairomonal elements from host insects. With the advent of efficient, high quality mas rearing and delivery systems and the ecofriendly biorational techniques involved in microbial control, biological control has come to be considered as a technology-orientated exercise. This volume is based on papers presented at a workshop on "Technological Advances in the Biological Control of Insects" at the Entomological Research Institute, held in Chennai, India, in October 1996.
