		Vermont-Kenya A tri-country initiative for integrated pest management practices. Fungal isolate selection and development of biological controls for IPM
		Vermont-Taiwan- SE Asia A tri-country initiative for integrated pest management practices. Testing and transfer of appropriate technology for IPM of vegetable crops
		Vermont-Syria- Central Asia A tri-country initiative for integrated pest management practices. Entomopathogenic fungi for IPM of Sunn Pest in wheat
		Vermont-China Development of insect-killing fungi for forest pest management
		Vermont-Ethiopia A tri-country initiative for integrated pest management practices. We are cooperatively involved in an insect pest management (IPM) research program with Israel and Ethiopia that is in the final stages of completion. Our goal is to develop effective, inexpensive management alternatives to agricultural chemicals. The use of entomopathogenic (insect-killing) fungi is an innovative approach for both developing and developed countries. We are working on effective techniques for mass - production of fungi, which make use of materials which are readily available, and is easy to understand.
