Summary The avermectins, streptomycete-derived macrocyclic lactones originally isolated as antiparasitic agents, have also demonstrated high potencies in laboratory evaluations against insect pests in several orders, phytophagous mites and the plant-parasitic nematode,Meloidogyne. Studies suggest that the avermectins' mechanism of toxicity is fundamentally different from those associated with current natural and synthetic pesticides.
