Although construction is behind schedule, notable progress has been made: promising plant selections have been determined; the number of crops and pests being studied has expanded through cooperation with other international research organizations and with the Ministry of Agriculture and through field tests in which 70 farmers have cooperated; the improved mass-rearing facilities needed to make insects available for testing and ecological studies will soon be available; and project scientists have prepared manuscripts for future publication.
