First sentence: The history of insecticide use dates back many centuries, certainly to before 1000 BC, when it is mentioned by Homer, but the real landmark in terms of modern agriculture is the spread of the Colorado beetle (Leptinotarsa decemlineata) across the United States in the second half of the nineteenth century (see Section 2.4).
