Abstract/Contents:Discusses the increase in pesticide use bans in Ontario, Canada, as well as alternatives to synthetic pesticides. Suggests a need for research on biopesticides, and states that "a number of approaches are being taken, including the search for and testing of novel strains of fungi and nematodes." Lists pests that may be controlled with biopesticides and provides preliminary results from research on biopesticides as of 2011. Concludes that "the primary goal of the current project is to provide functional biopesticides to control chinch bugs and European chafer in lawn turf."
