Abstract
Plant protection, trade, and a quality environment have complex interrelationships. Despite the annual application of 2.5 million tons of pesticides in the world, pests destroy more than 40% of total potential food production. This represents an enormous loss of food for either consumption or export at a time when more than two billion humans are malnourished in the world. Although worldwide pesticides reduce some losses inflicted by pests, they also cause serious public health and environmental pollution problems which cost about $100 billion per year.
