| Abstract/Contents: | Discusses a "project [that] was initiated in June 1999 to mass produce and distribute an 'insecticidal' nematode, Steinernema scapterisci, that was imported into Florida from the Scapteriscus spp. mole cricket's original home in South America." Focuses on the "commerical production of Steinernema scapterisci", the Florida Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services, Division of Plant Industry's and the University of Florida's "joint project to produce and distribute the nematode", Florida's "first initiative proposal for field tests", a "tropical/subtropical agricultural research proposal" for a "large-scale, cost-effective rearing capability for S. scapterisci", and the coordination of various research projects. Lists members of the "mole cricket task force." Presents the plan and budget for the "proposed permanent biological control of pest mole crickets in Florida." |
