Abstract EN

For decades, insect control methods depend primarily on insecticides, and the world consumption of insecticides is increasing by about 5 % every year.

Unfortunately, however, these chemicals pollute the environment, leave residues on agricultural products, and kill beneficial organisms leading to secondary pest problems and insecticide resistance.

Ecological and environmental concerns have lead to new tactics in insect pest control.

These tactics put more emphasis on cultural, physical and biological control methods including autocidal control where insects are used to destroy their own natural population.

This article discusses the subject of autocidal control, its history, philosophy, basics, advantages, how to use it and where.

It also gives an idea about its current use and future outlook.
