Overview
The olive IPM research program in Albania concentrated in two major activities: 1.Educational/planning activities and crop/pest monitoring, and 2.Multidisciplinary pest management experiments.
The main constraints to olive IPM addressed by thisresearch have been: -Lack of knowledge among olive growers on basic aspects of beneficial species biology; -Gaps in knowledge in Albania on species composition of pests and the beneficial species complex; -Lack of supplies for normal pest management programs
