Workshop to Determine Biological Control Research Needs and Priorities in Plant-Microbe Interactions in Agriculture

越来越多的人对确定和发展 对有害生物的有效生物防治， 病原体杂草和昆虫 作为一个后续。对活动的一个 科学、工程和公共政策委员会小组 （COSEPUP）的国家科学院，其中建议 增加关于生物相互作用的基础研究， 为了控制害虫，举办了一个讲习班， 为基于以下内容的特定研究议程提供基础 需要和优先事项， 扩大或建立植物、微生物、 交互. 提供支助，以加快及时 出版研讨会成果。

There is an increasing interest in identifying and developing effective biological controls for pest organisms such as pathogens, weeds, and insects. As a follow.on activity of a panel of the Committee on Science, Engineering, and Public Policy (COSEPUP) of the National Academy of Science which recommended an increase in basic research on biological interactions that could be manipulated for pest control purposes, a workshop was held to provide a foundation for a specific research agenda based on needs and priorities that would be useful in guiding the expansion or establishment of programs on plant.microbe interactions. Support is provided to expedite the timely publication of the workshop results.
