Collection Overview
Modern agriculture has faced increasing challenges concerning crop protection against insect pests. Invasive species, resistance to control methods, secondary pests’ resurgence, and outbreaks are a few challenges of modern agriculture. Entomology laboratories worldwide have dedicated efforts to novel methods, techniques, and protocols of rearing and testing insect pests to understand their behavior, biology, ecology, and molecular aspects related to the insect's potential to threaten agriculture. This collection will gather these methods used to study the insect pests in crop protection and promote the diffusion and standardization of the knowledge across scientists.
