In the Netherlands the development of experimental and applied entomology took a natural course. In the 13th century Jacob van Maerlant published the descriptive details of usefull, noxious and exotic ‘worms’. By the time the Dutch Golden Age was reached internal and external morphology of arthropods had matured. The Netherlands Entomological Society was erected on October 12, 1845. It was a meeting point of amateur-entomologists among the more wealthy citizens. Applied aspects of the observations were stressed to improve the standing of the discipline at large.
Around 1900 professional entomologists, educated at the universities, appeared. But they were mainly interested in systematics and morphology. The more independant and experimentally inclined investigators were scorned at, and not until I 941 did they reach autonomy in the Netherlands Entomological Society. The period of the unlimited possibilites of biocidal intervention is then followed by concern about resistance and toxicological side effects in man, pets, and nature at large. More ‘biological’ methods are proposed, but in the course of the goth research results do not reach anymore the Dutch entomological community of students and teachers of different institutions. The Section of Experimental and Applied Entomology of the Netherlands Entomological Society rejuvenated and in 1989 started to organize yearly a meeting for Dutch experimentally and/or applied working entomologists. The book under hand contains the papers presented during the Second Meeting held on 14 December 1990.
