## Pest Management for a 
sustainable agriculture.

**Pest Management for a **
**sustainable agriculture.**

## To provide technology to manage pest 
populations below economic damage 
thresholds by the integration of 
environmentally compatible strategies 
that are based on increased 
understanding of the biology of insect, 
mite and weed pests.
