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

自从合成化学品作为农药被引入以来，农业环境中有害生物的管理已经变得高度技术性。明智地使用这些化学工具，并结合文化、机械和生物控制措施，尽量减少对环境的影响，是有害生物综合管理的一个组成部分。(IPM)。北卡罗莱纳州立大学的工业/大学有害生物综合治理合作研究中心（IPM）继续满足I/UCRC计划的标准。中心在其作为国际信息中心/UCRC的头五年帮助启动了全球IPM信息数据库管理系统。这已经发展成为一项国家计划，是一项杰出的成就。中心将继续研究：1)有害生物防治对环境质量的影响；2)作物损失评估和经济阈值确定；3)改良有害生物管理的基因工程；4)提高对害虫生物学和生态学的认识；5)农药抗性检测与管理；6)开发IPM的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.
