Book (stand-alone)Inspector’s manual on specific pest surveys 2020
Also available in:
The “Inspector’s manual on specific pest surveys” was developed by the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) Regional Office for Europe and Central Asia (REU), under the projects “Strengthening capacities of the national phytosanitary control services in four Eastern European countries” (TCP/RER/3503) and “Support for the enhancement of national plant pest surveillance and phytosanitary certification systems” (TCP/RER/3705). The manual aims at strengthening the national capacity of the Republic of Moldova to protect its territory and key crops from some of the most economically important plant pests in Moldova, as well as on the methods of their control, taking into account not only the effectiveness of the measures undertaken, but also protection of the surrounding natural environment and health of the consumers. -
Book (stand-alone)Baseline survey on emerging pests in Eastern Africa
Programme support to the establishment of the Eastern African Emerging Pests Programme on Early Warning, Preparedness and Response System
2024Also available in:
No results found.Globalization, trade, and climate change, as well as reduced resilience in production systems due to decades of agricultural intensification, have played roles in the spread of pests. One of the significant threats to sustainable crop production across Eastern African countries is the increasing phenomenon of the introduction and spread of emergent pests.FAO Subregional Office for Eastern Africa (SFE), in collaboration, with the Centre for Agriculture and Bioscience International (CABI) undertook a survey and assessment to review the status of early warning, preparedness, and response capacities of NPPOs and agriculture extension services in the Eastern African countries. The survey involved a desk review of emergent pests, including insects, diseases, nematodes, and weeds. This report describes the status of their distribution in Eastern Africa, biological characteristics, description of hosts and symptoms on hosts as well as their economic importance and associated phytosanitary risks. The Intervention is designed to gather baseline information for developing fit-for-purpose initiatives to safeguard productivity and reduce vulnerabilities to shocks affecting food and nutrition security caused by pests and strengthen the relevant capacities of stakeholders to cope with these threats. The overall output is to develop a roadmap for surveillance, monitoring, and early response to emerging pests in Eastern Africa. Review of the existing plant protection acts and legislation; pest-listing activities for countries to develop lists of quarantine and non-quarantine pests and undertaking national contingency planning for prioritized pests are among the major recommended interventions. -
