Extractions: NEWS AND EVENTS News Release No. 112/96 26 September 1996 Indonesia's smallholder estate crop farmers will be introduced to environmentally friendly integrated pest management practices as an alternative to the use of pesticides under a US$44 million loan approved today by the Asian Development Bank. The Integrated Pest Management for Smallholder Estate Crops Project will target farmers whose incomes are affected by considerable yield losses largely caused by pests, diseases, and lack of knowledge about improved crop and pest management practices. The integrated pest management approach has been successfully promoted in rice. The project will take advantage of the achievements of the first Bank-assisted National Estate Crops Protection Project, and utilize the human resources and physical infrastructure already in place. It will also accelerate research to identify and field-test new pest management technologies. Plant quarantine services at strategic locations will be strengthened so that Indonesia can upgrade its standards to the level of its major competitors and enhance its access to export markets. Estate crops are a significant source of income for about 32% of the 11.5 million Indonesian rural households. Recent developments in the country's smallholder estate crop subsector indicate that there are opportunities for intensive crop and pest management practices to benefit the environment and increase farmers' income.

Extractions: The aim of the IPM program is to teach New Hampshire farmers to handle pest problems while reducing growers' use of chemical pesticides, minimizing crop production costs, and maintaining crop quality and yield. Insects, pathogens, weeds and other pests are a constant threat for NH farmers and greenhouse operators. For many crops, the marketplace tolerates very little or no pest injury. Since 1945, chemical pesticides have offered easy solutions to pest problems, and growers have over-used them, with resultant higher costs and potential environmental harm or health risks. Reducing this over-use of pesticides can improve farm profitability and also improve long term sustainability of farming in NH.
What Is Integrated Pest Management? integrated pest management better known as IPM - was introduced on a to monitorand control the pests in their risk their health, harm their crops, or damage http://www.fao.org/NEWS/1998/ipm-e.htm
Extractions: What is Integrated Pest Management? Integrated Pest Management - better known as IPM - was introduced on a large scale in Indonesia in the late 1980s and is now being promoted by FAO in more than 40 countries worldwide. IPM enables farmers to monitor and control the pests in their fields, keeping the use of expensive and potentially damaging and dangerous chemical pesticides to an absolute minimum. A Ghanaian farmer weeds the IPM project's experimental rice field (FAO/18429/P. Cenini) In developing countries, under village conditions, safe use of hazardous pesticides is practically impossible. Protective clothing is prohibitively expensive, and the tropical heat makes it almost unwearable. A 1993 study in Indonesia showed that 21 percent of spraying operations resulted in three or more symptoms associated with pesticide poisoning. Eighty-four percent of farmers were also found to be storing chemicals in their homes, in unsafe conditions where children could reach them. In order to train farmers effectively in IPM, an innovative, field-based, participatory training technique was developed - the Farmers' Field School (FFS). Meeting once a week for a 12-week crop season, from transplant to harvest, farmers learn the basic science and the techniques on which successful IPM is based. Their first task is to plant an experimental rice field which will be their classroom.
Extractions: Protected cultivation is practised in many hundreds of thousands of hectares throughout the world under quite different social, economic and technical conditions. Contributions to the book reflect such a diversity of situations: from the high-technology glasshouses of northern Europe and America to the simple plastic tunnels of the Mediterranean area and temperate eastern Asia. Furthermore, the editors have entrusted each chapter to authors whose activity and perspectives could be complementary: pathologists and entomologists, from private and public sectors, and from differentiated geographical regions. Probably no book published to date has offered such a diverse yet integrated approach to pest and disease control in greenhouse crops.

Extractions: Dr. Iwanaga cited the pressing need for the group's contributions in research on grain quality, on the control of soil-borne organisms that attack plants, and on the potential benefits of crops possessing genetically engineered resistance to pests and diseases. "Your role is of growing importance as the world's farmers intensify agriculture and diversify their cropping systems. As scientists, we must look at integrated crop management." Accomplishments to Date The program was launched in 1996 with an agenda focusing on major, previously intractable pest problems. As the program evolved, priority was given to problem areas requiring inter-institutional and inter-regional collaboration, classed in four thematic working groups: (1) crop loss and IPM impact assessment; (2) farmer participatory research and learning for IPM; (3) functional agrobiodiversity; and (4) IPM policy research. Trialeurodes and Bemisia species. These and the viruses they transmit are major threats to root crops, food legumes, and vegetables throughout the tropics. "This project would not have happened outside of the SP-IPM program," says Dr. Anderson. Led by Dr. Francisco Morales of CIAT, project partners include 5 international centers, 10 advanced research institutes, and national agricultural research organizations in 30 countries of Latin America, the Caribbean, Africa, and Asia, with funding from DANIDA, DFID, USDA, USAID, ACIAR and MFAT. Results of the diagnostic phase have been drawn together as a book and a wealth of on-line resources available through the project website (

Intergrated Pest Management integrated pest management of weeds, like insect IPM, focuses on of a scoutingbasedweed management program for the point at which the pest population reduces http://www.cals.ncsu.edu/sustainable/peet/IPM/weeds/c07weeds.html
Extractions: Home Most vegetable growers report that weeds are more difficult to manage than insects or diseases. Uncontrolled, weeds reduce yields and quality and harbor insects and diseases which then spread to the crop. For example, European corn borers feed on pigweed as well as many vegetables. Common weed control practices such as herbicide applications and cultivations cost money and, if not done properly, can cause crop and environmental damage. Herbicides can also affect both beneficial and pest insects. In some cases insect populations increase, and in other cases they decrease or are not affected. The effects can be directly toxic, with herbicides applied during oviposition or early larval development. They can also be indirect as with populations of the egg parasite Trichogramma which were reducted after feeding on insects which had ingested the herbicide alachlor. In other experiments, aphid and thrips populations increased after herbicide use. Green peach aphids preferentially invade weed-free collard patches, probably because there were fewer predators than in more weedy areas. Integrated pest management of weeds, like insect IPM, focuses on prevention, beginning with identification of weed species and mapping their location and populations in the field. This weed map should show growth stage and size and include distinguishing features such as wet areas and field borders.
