Abstract
The pursuit of integrated pest management (IPM) for forest protection followed the success of IPM in agriculture. Government policymakers, supported by forest pest management scientists and practitioners, directed that IPM be used to protect forests from the effects of insects and disease. Unfortunately, transferring the concept of IPM from agriculture to forestry has been more difficult than expected. IPM research-and-development program leaders need to review the reasons for these difficulties, establish realistic objectives (which should include the development of pest management tactics for integrated forest-resource management), and concentrate on producing IPM strategies that solve forest protection problems.
