Summary The information reported in this book is based on a survey of more than 100 biopesticide workers in developing countries. The results (response rate: 12% from 30 countries) demonstrate that the main difficulties and constraints facing researchers relate to a lack of expertise in the crucial later stage of development. Biopesticide research is receiving mostly low investment, mainly from the public sector, and requires more multidisciplinary expertise. It is concluded that targeted assistance on a multinational, multidisciplinary basis is required in developing countries in order to remove the constraints
