Waage] « Bon, mais comment ça marche dans la pratique ? » les enjeux des transferts de technologie en lutte biologique Thanks to the efforts and enthusiasm of research scientists, biological control today enjoys considerable popularity. An increasing number of decision makers have high expectations of biological control as the foundation of IPM, as a viable commercial alternative to chemical pesticides, as the self-perpetuating solution to exotic pest problems and as the restorer of parks and endangered habitats threatened by alien invasive species. All of these expectations require that biological control scientists engage a broader community, including farmers, extensionists, environmentalists, regulators, and the public at large, and that they succeed with them to transfer, scale up and implement biological control at a level far beyond its present use. Increased movement of alien pests due to changing patterns of trade, as well as their emerging importance as threats to biodiversity has increased demand for classical biological control. Meeting this demand effectively will require improved understanding of the risks posed by alien pests and introduced agents, as well as better mechanisms to inform and involve governments and scientists in selfregulation and sharing of benefits. A growing portfolio of commercial biological control agents indicates the potential for inundative methods, but the continued emphasis on developing mass-marketed, pesticide-like agents, increasingly with the help of biotechnology, will eventually limit their application in IPM systems unless a broader approach in taken. Finally, opportunities exist for the transfer of methods for natural enemy conservation on a scale far greater than that of the classical or inundative interventions mentioned above, but realizing these opportunities requires a new approach to research and extension, wherein farmers become active research partners and farmers and scientists explore together the complex and very local dynamics of natural enemy complexes. Thus, for all of these areas of biological control, "making it work in the field” will require new directions in scientific research and establishing new partnerships in the transfer and implementation of its results Lavoisier Abonnements, 1996 biodiversity nationallicence biological control nationallicence biopesticides nationallicence crop protection nationallicence IPM nationallicence sustainable agriculture nationallicence technology transfer nationallicence Entomophaga Springer Netherlands 41/3-4(1996-09-01), 315-332 0013-8959 41:3-4<315 1996 41 10526 https://doi.org/10.1007/BF02765787 text/html Onlinezugriff via DOI 1 research-article jats NATIONALLICENCE 856 40 https://doi.org/10.1007/BF02765787 text/html Onlinezugriff via DOI NATIONALLICENCE 100 1- Waage J.
