Abstract
This topic is subject to various interpretations largely depending on one's concept of integrated control. My concept is that cultural as well as biological and chemical control may be involved in integrated control. Here I am using a very broad definition of cultural control to include control brought about by an environmental manipulation other than the use of chemicals or release of natural enemies. From this perspective, any deliberate environmental modification which reduces but does not eliminate the need for other control methods constitutes a manipulation of the environment fostering integrated control. In this symposium I will focus attention principally on those environmental manipulations which indirectly affect control by enhancing biological or chemical control. This restriction is very difficult to apply, however, because the interactions between cultural practices and biological and chemical control are so poorly understood. Much of my discussion, therefore, will be on theoretical grounds.
