Implementation of agromedical concepts

ABSTRACT

Previous chapters have dealt with specific concerns in agromedical programming. This chapter attempts to summarize some of the techniques and ideas for integration and implementation of these practices in a holistic program. Particular emphasis is given to the development of an agromedical organization appropriate to the needs, the laws, and the resources of the country. The essential ingredients include a) a knowledge of integrated pest management and a work force which is knowledgeable on all of the alternative tactics for pest management, b) a regulatory system that is reasonable and enforceable, c) an efficient analytical capability, and d) an interdisciplinary agromedical insfrastructure (AU)
