Synopsis (short abstract) The urbanization and increase of animal-product demands have accompanied with the specification and intensification in animal production, also with the disintegration between crop and animals. This trend has resulted in environment pollution in Ho Chi Minh City (HCMC) and the surrounding provinces including Binh Duong, Dong Nai (North and North East of the city, respectively) and Long An of Mekong Delta. Biogas has been popular to small scale farms of 5-100 pigs. Every city/province has had prog ram to support the poor farmers, on a limited scale, in installation of biogas. However, the biogas is not suitable for farms raising less than 5 pigs or farms having no land for crop. In addition, most of intensive farms, especially the swine farms, were built in the decade of 60 without treatment system of waste. The waste is therefore drained to vegetable field or stream, that has had BOD of 300-530 mg/l and an unaccepted number of E. coli as well as parasite egg. The environmental and techni cal problems of intensive swine farms have been solved by provincial master plane of relocation.

Area-Wide Integration (AWI) is a novel approach to integrate specialised livestock with cropping activities so that livestock are land-based rather than being a fortuitous component of urban industrial production system. AWI is a regional concept to better utilise periurban and rural land and to ensure a livestock industry that will be viable and competitive as we move into the next century. The concept of AWI is currently being investigated by FAO as a means of developing livestock-land use sys tems in East and Southeast Asia.

Guidelines for the Use of Mathematics in Operational Area-Wide Integrated Pest Management Programmes Using the Sterile Insect Technique with a Special Focus on Tephritid Fruit Flies 2016

Also available in:

No results found.

This guideline will assist managers in the use of mathematics in area-wide Integrated Pest Management (AW-IPM) programmes using the Sterile Insect Technique (SIT). It describes mathematical tools that can be used at different stages of suppression/eradication programmes. It provides simple methods for calculating the various quantities of sterile insects required so that more realistic sterile: fertile rates to suppress pest populations can be achieved. On the other hand, most SIT programmes ha ve information systems based on GIS that produces reliable profiles of historic information. Based on the results of past activities they describe what has happened in the last weeks but barely explain what is expected in the following weeks. With the help of this guideline current AW-IPM progammes can use that historic information to develop predictive models for their particular conditions to better plan control measures.

Collection of Entomological Baseline Data for Tsetse Area-wide Integrated Pest Management Programmes
FAO Animal Production and Health Guidelines 1
2009

Also available in:

Area-wide integrated pest management (AW-IPM) entails the integration of different control tactics against an entire pest population within a circumscribed area, while given adequate attention to human health and the environment. For most insect pests including tsetse, AW-IPM results in more sustainable pest control and the concept has gained significantly in importance in the last decade. Most of AW-IPM programmes are management intensive and technically complex, requiring an in-d epth knowledge of the ecology and population dynamics of the target insect. Before embarking on a tsetse AW-IPM control programme a detailed entomological baseline data survey needs to be implemented to collect essential data on tsetse species present in the target area, their distribution, and seasonal and spatial dynamics of the population. Especially when the target area is large, the surveys need to be conducted in carefully selected sites that are representative for larger areas . These guidelines provide, aside from some basic information on the biology of tsetse flies, guidance on the development and implementation of an entomological survey to collect essential baseline data using modern spatial tools such as geographic information systems (GIS), satellite imagery, remote sensing, land use land cover maps, the Global Position System, etc. The document also provides guidance on the use of a specifically designed database for tsetse entomological surveys in the context of an AW-IPM programme.
