| Abstract:
The successful design of management programs for soilborne pests is contingent upon consideration of a broad range of components in addition to traditional concerns regarding pest control (efficacy). Marketing, economic, environmental, health, and social factors will all impact the applicability of a pest management program. A systems approach will facilitate the integration of components into management programs that are compatible with crop production systems. Examples of factors impinging upon the development of pest management programs is addressed and examples of how these constraints were overcome are presented. | |
