PROFESSIONAL SOCIETIES and Ecologically Based Pest Management: Proceedings of a Workshop
How can collaboration strengthen quality and impacts of research? How do you make it work so all partners come out as winners?
How should ecologically based pest management research be organized (e.g., long term ecological research studies, university, on farm) to evaluate ecological processes and accommodate site-specific variability?
How can practical knowledge be incorporated into the research design to improve pest management decision making in individual management systems?
What organizations should take the lead in establishing and coordinating collaborative research efforts for ecologically based pest management? What types of projects should be lead by the public sector? Private sector? Joint leadership?
What are potential roles of collaborators, including professional societies, in advancing research investments in ecologically based pest management (e.g., policy)?
Implementation discussion group
Facilitator: Lorna Michael Butler, Washington tate University, Puyallup
What are the goals of ecologically based decision making? How can integrated pest management be strengthened by ecological approaches?
