Equipment acquired through this program will facilitate research regarding management of insect pests in the British Columbia (BC) agricultural sector. We will conduct research on the use of arthropod predators and parasitoids for biological control of key pest species. Insect and other arthropod pests continue to have substantial economic impact on agricultural production in BC. New pest species continue to be introduced into agriculture either through accidental introductions related to international trade, or as a consequence of range expansions associated with climate change. Management of pests via biological control provides a sustainable ecologically-based alternative to the use chemical pesticides in agriculture. The insectary industry produces predatory and parasitic arthropods used for biological control of pest species. Insectary companies mass rear

通过这一方案获得的设备将促进不列颠哥伦比亚省（BC）农业部门关于虫害管理的研究。我们会研究如何利用节肢动物捕食者和拟寄生物，对主要害虫进行生物防治。昆虫和其他节肢动物害虫继续对不列颠哥伦比亚的农业生产产生重大经济影响。新的害虫物种继续被引入农业，或者是由于与国际贸易有关的意外引入，或者是由于与气候变化有关的范围扩大。通过生物控制来管理害虫为农业中使用化学农药提供了一种可持续的生态替代方案。昆虫工业生产用于生物防治害虫的捕食性和寄生性节肢动物。昆虫公司大规模饲养
