With the approval of new ESA Bylaws in 2007, this Section
ceased to exist at the end of that year.
Because agronomic and horticultural systems, economic
circumstances, and pest diversity continue to change, management strategies are
constructed from an array of tactics. These tactics are based on input from all
sub descriptions of entomology. Section F served to consolidate that
information. Crop protection endeavors to develop conventional and pioneering
approaches in definition of crop pests and their interaction with hosts; study
and clarification of pest biology and behavior, development and selection of
suitable pest management strategies or tactics and delivery of information by
means of literature and other communication media.
