| Abstract/Contents: | "My efforts focused on using environmental monitoring to predict insect pest outbreaks, provide insight into the most efficacious timing of conventional and biorational pesticides, and provide a system to make management decisions based on the potential environmental impact of the practice." Discusses the significance of weather-based models or pest "forecasts", the progress in the development of a personal computer-based weather monitoring system for field crops which automates weather data collection and analysis, and their impact on elimination of unnecessary pesticide use and minimize the risk of unforeseen pest damage. |
