Early twenty-first century pesticide research has focused on developing molecules that combine low use rates and that are more selective, safer, resistance-breaking and cost-effective. Obstacles include increasing pesticide resistance and an increasingly stringent regulatory environment.[1]
The sources of new molecules employ natural products, competitors, universities, chemical vendors, combinatorial chemistry libraries,[2] intermediates from projects in other indications and compound collections from pharmaceutical and animal health companies.[1]
