Integrated pest control programs

In conclusion it is evident that many research opportunities exist In the identification and characterization of new substances and evaluation of their ecological evolutionary and physiological significance. In a practical sense it can be hoped that some of these new compounds because of their novel mode of action may be useful for the control of phytophagous Insects as part of Integrated pest management programs. 

Because of their after-infection and antisporulation activity against scab, the EBI fungicides are especially suitable for use in predictive disease control programs. Predictive disease control is an important part of integrated pest management programs on apples. A predictive system means control measures are applied after the onset of infection. Small special purpose computers with field...

The use of pheromones in trap catch data is an important integral part of these forecasting systems and combined with control methods they contribute substantially to insect pest management programs and population monitoring. The use of pheromones in both monitoring and control of pests will eontinue to increase as more research and data become available.
