    Integrated Pest Management on Rangeland: State of the Art in the Sagebrush Ecosystem

    Get PDF
    Several sagebrush communities represent optimum levels of negative development plant productivity for certain peculiar sites, and therefore should be managed for their preservation. Other sagebrush communities may be profitably modified to favor forage species that are more palatable to domestic livestock. Modification techniques can range from subtle (i.e., grazing strategies) to tracematic (i.e., brush removal and revegetation), and an associated spectrum of management tactics are described. Interrelationships between and problems associated with management of forage resources, management of weeds, and management of insects (including grasshoppers, black grass bugs, and beneficial insects) are discussed. Economical analyses, the role of modeling as a management tool, and impacts of management tactics on wildlife and non-target species also are discussed

    Paper presenting the objectives, methodology, and findings of the CGIAR Sub Saharan Africa Activity Inventory 1986 prepared by ISNAR. The inventory provided a detailed breakdown of CGIAR activities in Africa by activity type, country, funding source, and commodity. The goal was to promote efficient use of the resources devoted to Africa, which accounted for over 50 percent of the Group's total resources. Annexes provide statistics on CGIAR resources allotted to Africa, macroeconomic indicators for African countries themselves, the questionnaires through which ISNAR conducted the inventory, and activity definitions and codes. Annex VI, which lists activities by target country, is in a separate record.Agenda document, CGIAR midterm meeting, May 198

    Hawaii Area-Wide Fruit Fly Integrated Pest Management Program: A Model System

    Get PDF
    HAW-FLYPM’s package of control techniques are focused around a combination of monitoring and population control methods. Traps with species specific lures are used for monitoring and population elimination. Field sanitation— removing and sequestering or destroying all fruit left in the field is critical to the success of the HAW-FLYPM program. In addition, roosting crops and releases of sterile male flies and parasitoid wasps can be used to enhance the program, if needed
