Development of environmentally beneficial technologies are increasingly seen as a critical component to restoring the economic vitality of the United States. Since 1980, the UC Davis-based UC Statewide Integrated Pest Management Program has been developing technologies aimed at reducing the use of pesticides. In its recently released 1992 annual report, the IPM program details many of its success stories, such as the release of a parasitic wasp to control the ash whitefly, use of the lacewing larva as a biological predator of the variegated grape leafhopper, and use of "alarm" pheromones and related naturally occurring chemicals to disrupt activities of various ant species that attack citrus, stone fruit and grapes. For a copy of the 1992 report or more information, media should contact Mary Louise Flint, IPM education and publications director, at (916) 752-7692.
