A study released by the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) of the United Nations indicates that worldwide $12 billion was spent on insecticide in 1995. Insecticide resistance is the No. 1 obstacle to successful insect control worldwide. Billions of dollars are recently spent trying to control resistant insect biotypes with insecticides while at the same time inducing still further resistance in the same insect populations with insecticides. The only known way to reduce the threat of resistance, in long term is by diversifying control, i.e. by controlling pest populations in multiple biological ways.
