Continuation of Support for Industry/Universtiy Cooperative Research Center for Integrated Pest Management

摘要EEC-9612468 STINNER 自从引入合成化学品作为杀虫剂以来，农业环境中害虫物种的管理已变得高度技术化。 明智地使用这些化学工具，结合文化，机械和生物控制，以尽量减少对环境的影响，是综合虫害管理的一个组成部分。（IPM）。 北卡罗来纳州州立大学的工业/大学合作研究中心综合害虫管理（IPM）继续符合I/UCRC计划的标准。 该中心在作为I/UCRC的头五年帮助启动了全球IPM信息数据库管理系统。 这已经发展成为一个国家计划，这是一个杰出的成就。 该中心的研究将继续解决：1）害虫管理对环境质量的影响; 2）作物损失评估和经济阈值确定; 3）改进害虫管理的基因工程; 4）提高对害虫生物学和生态学的理解; 5）农药抗性检测和管理;以及6）为IPM开发通信和决策支持系统。

ABSTRACT EEC-9612468 STINNER Management of pest species in agricultural environments has become highly technical since the introduction of synthetic chemicals as pesticides. The judicious use of these chemical tools, integrated with cultural, mechanical and biological controls to minimize effects on the environment is an integral part of Integrated Pest Management. (IPM). The North Carolina State University's Industry/University Cooperative Research Center for Integrated Pest Management (IPM) continues to meet the criteria of the I/UCRC Program. The Center helped start the Global IPM Informational Database Management system during its first five years as an I/UCRC. This has grown into a national program that is an outstanding accomplishment. The research of the Center will continue to address: 1) Impact of pest management on environmental quality; 2) Crop loss assessment and economic threshold determinations; 3) Genetic engineering for improved pest management; 4) Improved understanding of pest biology and ecology; 5) Pesticide resistance detection and management; and 6) Development of communications and decision support systems for IPM.
