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

人们对识别和开发有效的生物控制有害生物如病原体、杂草和昆虫越来越感兴趣。如下。美国国家科学院科学、工程和公共政策委员会（COSEPUP）一个小组的活动，该小组建议增加可用于防治虫害的生物相互作用的基础研究，举办了一次讲习班，为根据需要和优先事项制定具体的研究议程奠定基础，这将有助于指导扩大或建立植物方案。微生物 交互。为加快讲习班成果的及时出版提供了支持。

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.
