  through  cooperative  extension.  Determine the economic relationship of
  pest incidence to yield or quality loss. Develop  non-pesticide  methods
  of  pest  management  in  the  areas  of  cultural practices, biological
  control and crop resistance. In addition the  proper  timing,  selection
  and  use  of  pesticides  will be integrated into the overall management
  programs;
3. aid growers in executing the most optimal crop  protection  program
  by  providing  them  with timely reports on pest presence and population
  density levels, forecasted pest occurrences, crop  growth,  weather  and
  other   environmental   information,  and  providing  the  most  current
  interpretation of the data;
