Development of Integrated Control Programs for Crop Pests in Israel

Abstract

Up to some 15 years ago the usual approach to pest control in Israel, as elsewhere, consisted mainly of providing ad hoc solutions to isolated problems and generally lacked a sound ecological basis. At best, entomologists endeavored to develop effective, economically feasible control programs devised to destroy, essentially by chemicals, each isolated target pest species on the individual crop involved. The disadvantages and great dangers inherent in such an approach, characterized by a complete disregard of the entire agro-ecosystem as a coherent, interdependent entity, have been exhaustively discussed in recent literature (Smith and van den Bosch, 1967; Food and Agriculture Organization, 1966, 1968), as well as in other chapters of this book (Chapters 1, and 14–19), and need no further elaboration here.
