Book (stand-alone)Training materialField survey guidance for Thaumatotibia leucotreta 2025
Also available in:
No results found.This survey guidance provides easy-to-follow guidelines for technical personnel of national plant protection organizations (NPPOs) to monitor Thaumatotibia leucotreta, a major plant pest commonly known as the false codling moth. Recognized as a priority pest by countries involved in the Africa Phytosanitary Programme (APP), an initiative of the International Plant Protection Convention, this pest affects over 50 plant species, such as peppers, citrus, cotton and avocado, and can thrive in marginal conditions. The guidance provides a protocol to aid in the monitoring, detection, sample collection and identification of Thaumatotibia leucotreta, ensuring effective phytosanitary decision-makingto manage the pest risk and protect trade in plants and plant products. This document includes visuals and guidance on recommended pest trapping and serves to complement the digital tools available to NPPO plant health inspectors through the APP mobile application and Geographic Information System (GIS) platforms. By using this survey protocol for regular pest monitoring, countries will strengthen their pest outbreak early warning systems, enhance their resilience against plant pests of regulatory, economic, and environmental concern, including Thaumatotibia leucotreta, and strengthen compliance with international phytosanitary standards. -
Book (stand-alone)Technical bookField survey guidance for Babuvirus banana bunchy top virus 2025
Also available in:
No results found.This survey guidance provides a protocol to aid in the monitoring, detection, sample collection, and diagnostics for Babuvirus banana bunchy top virus, ensuring effective phytosanitary decision-making to manage the pest risk and protect trade in plants and plant products. To simplify the identification of the pest, it also provides visuals. Babuvirus banana bunchy top virus is a priority pest among several countries in the IPPC's Africa Phytosanitary Programme (APP), which aims to enhance pest management across Africa by empowering technical personnel or phytosanitary officers in national plant protection organizations (NPPOs) to use science and digital technology. This survey guidance is intended to enhance NPPOs' surveillance of Babuvirus banana bunchy top virus and strengthen the resilience of national phytosanitary systems against plant pests of regulatory, economic and environmental concern, particularly Babuvirus banana bunchy top virus. It complements the digital tools available to NPPO plant health inspectors, through the APP mobile application and Geographic Information System (GIS) platform, for monitoring and data collection. Countries will use the survey data to support the export trade of pest-free crop commodities. -

Book (stand-alone)Technical bookSustainable fisheries and aquaculture for food security and nutrition
A report by The High Level Panel of Experts on Food Security and Nutrition. June 2014
2014Fish plays a key role for food security. It is a primary source of protein and essential nutrients. Fisheries, aquaculture and related activities provide income and livelihoods for numerous communities across the world, including small-scale fisheries. The growing demand for fish questions the sustainability of marine fisheries and aquaculture, now a fundamental supplier of fish. The report considers the environmental, social and economic challenges faced by all actors towards a sustainable supp ly of fish, sustainable livelihoods of fish-dependent communities and an equitable access to fish for the good nutrition of all populations worldwide. It presents policy-oriented analysis and recommendations addressed to governments, private sector and civil society in order to fully realize the potential for sustainable fisheries and aquaculture to contribute to food security and nutrition. -
ProjectProgramme / project reportReview Of Experiences With And Present Knowledge About Fish Aggregating Devices - BOBP/WP/23 1983
Also available in:
No results found.A review of experiences worldwide and of present knowledge about fish aggregating devices (FADs) was carried out by the BOBP during 1981. Nearly 150 institutions and experts were requested to contribute. This paper draws on these replies as also on other published material. The paper describes a spectrum of FADs ranging from very simple and cheap traditional applications for nearshore waters to modern, highly sophisticated and expensive products for off-shore aggregation of tunas and tuna-l ike fishes. Some of the experimental designs described here are worth considering for indicative fishing trials. The preparation of this paper is an activity of the Bay of Bengal Programme for Small-Scale Fisheries Development, referred to in brief as BOBP. The BOBP is funded by the Swedish International Development Authority (SIDA) and the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) and executed by the Food and Agriculture Organisation of the United Nations. Countries bordering the Ba y of Bengal are members of the Programme. Its main aims are to develop, demonstrate and promote methodologies to improve the conditions of smallscale fisherfolk and to assess and monitor fishery resources. -
