Description:
The literature on natural enemy/pesticide research has grown rapidly since the mid 1970s. omprehensive summarization using traditional methods has become limited and much less feasible. omputer database techniques can improve summarization by allowing rapid processing of large information sets. easons for summarizing existing work are many: to provide a tabulation of research; to elucidate trends from a perspective not previously possible; to evaluate hypotheses regarding species susceptibility and pesticide toxicity; to develop selectivity charts by crop; to evaluate test protocols for standardization; and many other applications of this information. ata published over the past 40 years on pesticide side effects to arthropod natural enemies of agricultural pests have been appended into a data base (SELCTV) Further development of SELCTV is imminent. xpansion and refinement of fields for more detailed recording of sublethal effects are anticipated. iterature updates are critical to keep SELCTV relevant to urging natural enemy research.
