    Handbook on the integrated crop management of groundnut and sesame for farmer field schools in central dry zone of Myanmar 2022
    Also available in:
    This curriculum briefly outlines Integrated pest management (IPM) for these selected crops, paddy, groundnut, sesame, green gram, and chickpea. The general concept of IPM is the same for these crops, although the insect pests, diseases and weeds differ from one crop to another. The name of pests are listed for information, and important messages that are unique to Myanmar's situation is briefed if necessary, rather than giving a detailed account of morphology, biology, ecology and management, which can be readily available in published literature. It aims to improve farmers' knowledge of the pests, including insects, plant diseases, weeds and rodents causing the reduction in the yield of field crops and how to manage the crops to boost crop production without deteriorating environmental resources for sustainable agriculture.
