CS 415 Integrated Pest Management
Course Prerequisites: Preq: BIO 181(preferred) or ZO 160 (alternate) or BO 200 or BO 250
This course is designed to acquaint students with the strategic approaches to designing IPM systems and the tactics used in carrying out specific strategies. It is not designed to provide management recommendations on a site by pest scenario - other courses may accomplish that. Successful completion of this course should provide students with improved capability for making pest management decisions within a specific spatial and temporal framework on a site by site basis. The course will concentrate on agricultural sites, but some discussion of non-agricultural sites will be included.
