Taylor & Francis LLC Encyclopedia Program, NY Summary References Improvements
in the successful pest management of the agricultural ecosystem and public

practices, and scheduled routines that do not respond to periodic environmental
changes are counterproductive to sound management. Inadequacies of current practices in several examples
illustrate the need for research institutions to augment their participation
in management and a return to research funding by unbiased sources |
