This
page is organized by crop. To see the latest research or extension
information regarding biological and/or cultural pest control for
a particular crop, or for contact information on those individuals
working on these control methods in a particular crop in Washington
State, use the alphabetical index below. A list of research-based
publications discussing aspects of using biological agents in pest
control can be found by going to the Washington
State University Extension Publications home page and using
the search engine or selecting Biological Control within the Agriculture
folder in the left-hand navigation bar.
This
page is
continually in the process of being updated. Personnel in state
agencies and institutions and federal agencies and institutions
with offices located in Washington State who are working on biological
and/or cultural pest control are encouraged to contact WSPRS
Director Catherine Daniels to discuss being included in this
directory. Please list the crop(s) on which you work and the types
of activities in which you are engaged when you e-mail WSPRS.
