Objectives of Project This project addresses Objectives I and II of the USDA-CSREES Risk
Avoidance and Mitigation Program request for proposals, i.e., develop
methods of pest management that reduce or eliminate the risk from pesticide
residues. Additionally, as
defined by the RFP, we have been developing
and implementing information intensive approaches to pest management based on a
more complete understanding of crop and pest biology, their interactions and
mutual impacts, and factors impacting the stability of pest management systems
in major cropping systems. Finally,
the RAMP program requires an outreach
component to promote the exchange of pest management information among
researchers, extension educators, producers, commercial grain handlers, and
commodity groups as it relates to the project. An outcome of the research will
be explicit pest management technology that is disseminated via extension
bulletins, workshops, national working conference, and an already developed
on-line resource (web site).
To address the objective of developing innovative management technology,
the scientific participants have been grouped into research clusters or teams of
scientists. The specific objectives
and scientific participants include:
