Abstract
During the past decade, higher education institutes, research managers, and investors have shifted focus away from traditional crop protection towards crop resistance with a subsequent decline in resources for broader plant health and integrated pest management (IPM). This has reduced the ability of crop protectionists to take full advantage of the many new technologies available today for managing crop health. The momentum and impact that IPM has had in the past on pests, especially insects, diseases, and weeds as they affect crop health and food security, need to be expanded and taken to a new level. A potential exists for yields to increase well beyond those attained by the green revolution while reducing human and environmental costs.
Improvements in IPM can lead to sound crop health management (CHM) programs that contribute towards resolving the unprecedented challenge to food security facing the international community. This, however, requires looking at CHM in the wider context of climate change, trade globalization, environmental protection, and the role of agriculture for economic growth to alleviate poverty.
