Abstract

The negative implications of crop pest-control technologies which evolved as a result of the development of effective pesticides are generally recognized today (Knipling 1982). The concept of integrated pest management has resulted as an effort to optimize our ability to protect our agriculture and concurrently alleviate our reliance on heavy pesticide use for such protection. However, Joyce (1982) succinctly points out that in order to effectively manage a pest population by either chemical or other means, the distribution of that population must be defined on a temporal and spatial basis. In this context, the role of insect movement must be considered in relation to the establishment of effective pest-management systems.
