Abstract
A network is described which will provide real-time information for agricultural pest management systems. Its initial function is to provide critical information concerning biological interactions related to economic pest problems. The principal shortterm objectives of the network are to: provide a data base from which system modeling can continue; provide environmental information for the purpose of controlling growth chambers; provide a means of synchronizing various components of existing models (plants, pests, parasites etc); predict field events and alert biologists as to the timing of critical biological measurements. The long-term use of network will be to verify predictive models and to provide a time-temperature base for sensing the state of the pest system.
