This system of integrated crop production places high demands on all aspects of crop production, including the controlled use of pesticides. Development and benefit from integrated pest management systems depend upon the combined efforts of the researcher, development and scouting persons and a highly trained farmer. 

Cooperation among universities, government, and industry was essential in the commercialization of the mycoherbicides presented in Table IV The formulation technology of these microbial agents constitutes proprietary information, but there are published reports of the utilization of these organisms in integrated pest management systems (31-36).

The market for special control techniques that are appropriate for integrated pest management systems is closer to the scope of smaller companies where large-scale production facilities are not essential. Smaller companies have found unique niches in the pest management field, based often on particular expertise or experience. Controlled-release technology is an essential component for formulation and application of pheromones, therefore small companies have entered the market on the strength of this combination of expertise. Patent protection may be obtained to cover the devices and materials used to formulate pheromones, whereas the information relating to the composition of many pheromones is available in the open literature. 

In the following we will deal with the present and potential roles of behavior modifying chemicals (mainly pheromones) as one of the tools available to the manager of an integrated pest management system.
