Abstract/Contents: | Relates findings from a study done to move toward biological control of mole crickets. Outlines the following objectives of the study:"(1) to monitor population of Scapteriscus mole crickets in Florida, (2) to discover natural enemies of Scapteriscus mole crickets abroad, and to import these into quarantine for study, (3) to devise methods of rearing such organisms in the laboratory, (4) to sutdy the life cycles and host-specificity of such natural enemies in the laboratory, for efficacy against mole crickets and safety to non-target organisms, (5) to obtain the necessary Federal permits, to release such potential biocontrol agents experimentally in Florida, and to evaluate the effects of such releases and (6) to work toward Integrated Pest Management of mole crickets, using biological control as the principal method employed." Specifies approach, methods and parasitic insects used in the research. |
