The majority of insecticides currently used worldwide can be characterized as “broad spectrum,” belonging to organophosphate, pyrethroid, carbamate, or organochlorine chemistry. For reasons of price, efficacy, spectrum, and organochlorine availability, the dominance of these compounds is likely to continue until well into the next century. Therefore, they must be made useful in IPM systems, if this is at all possible (Horn 1988).
