Overview
Development and Commercialization of Biopesticides: Costs and Benefits provides a uniquely comprehensive view of the commercial production of biopesticides from research to application, featuring case studies in various developed and developing countries of the world. With a model and working examples, this book offers guidance for future strategies to researchers as well as relatively nascent biopesticide industry.There is no doubt that biopesticides are now in large-scale use, and a variety of novel techniques have been used to improve or modify existing biopesticides, which will further accelerate their development. Development of the biopesticide industry must be strategic, comprehensive and forward-looking in order to be an accepted, safe and sustainable venture. Obviously, the development of the industry strongly relates to research in biopesticides, but at the same time it is necessary to consider the industry's economic concerns; i.e., costs and benefits compared to the conventional pesticides; the future perspectives for application strategies; bioavailability and environmental safety; and the impact on intellectual property issues during commercialization. All these aspects of significant importance presented here, providing an important perspective for the future development of a successful biopesticide industry. This book will be important for industry as well as for researchers balancing cost/benefit in the earliest stages of new devleopments.
