Area-wide Insect Pest Management
نویسنده
چکیده
Area-wide pest management is one of several major plans or strategies for coping with pest problems. Management of localized populations is the conventional or most widely used strategy, wherein individual producers, other operators and households practice independent pest control. However, since individual producers or households are not capable of adequately meeting the challenge of certain very mobile and dangerous pests, the area-wide pest management strategy was developed. The area-wide pest management strategy includes several substrategies including (a) management of the total pest population in all of an ecosystem, (b) management of the total pest population in a significant part of an ecosystem, (c) prevention, which includes containment of an invading population and quarantine, and (d) eradication of an entire pest population from an area surrounded by naturally occurring or man-made barriers sufficiently effective to prevent reinvasion of the area except through the intervention of man.
