The book explores the concept of pest management through the intentional manipulation of insect behavior rather than relying solely on toxic pesticides. It highlights traditional methods like trap cropping, where pests are drawn to a sacrificial resource to protect valuable crops. Over the past three decades, advancements in analytical techniques have spurred renewed interest in behavioral strategies, emphasizing the importance of understanding and altering pest behavior to achieve effective management. The review focuses on methods that deliberately influence pest behavior through targeted stimuli.
