Responsibilities of Researchers and Uplands Staff
Effective pest management relies on many factors including proper sanitation and cultural care of experimental plants, frequent monitoring and rapid response following pest detection using physical, biological and chemical methods. The success of any management program will rely on the cooperation of users and Uplands staff. The following section outlines some of the typical responsibilities of the Uplands staff and its research users. These areas of responsibility may vary from one institution to another but all aspects must be undertaken for the IPM program to be successful.
