An expanding global population requires new solutions to controlling pest insects that compete for our food and transmit disease. Changing regulatory requirements, evolving grower needs and public perception along with the continued evolution of insecticide resistance all require new options for pest insect control, including new insecticidal chemistries with new or underutilized modes of action, that can contribute to effective insect pest management programs. The past 25 years has seen significant changes to the Crop Protection Compound Industry and has in effect ushered in a new age of insecticide discovery.  This presentation will explore the evolving dynamics of the Crop Protection Compound Industry and the continued discovery and evolution of new insect control agents. <br/>
