| This paper summarises the activities of the ISSCT Entomology Workshop held 23-29 November 2003 in Montego Bay, Jamaica. Paper presentations were grouped under the general topic headings of : new techniques in pest management; integrated pest management; variety selection for resistance to pests; cultural techniques; biological control; and biology of pests. Included in the 5-day workshop was a tour through the Jamaican sugar industry to view pest problems, cane growting and milling, production of value-added products, and research facilities and directions. The workshop concluded that new techniques, such as plant-derived insecticides and biotechnology, will contribute to more effective pest management, but that more conventional techniques will continue to play vital roles in integrated systems. However, all successful management strategies must be underpinned by biological studies and must fit within productive, profitable and sustainable systems. | |
