Brochure, flyer, fact-sheetGestion des pesticides dans le secteur de la banane 2017Les pesticides sont utilisés de manière intensive pour contrôler les ravageurs et maladies dans les bananeraies, en particulier dans celles destinées à l'exportation tout au long de l'année. Les bananes sont d'autant plus sensibles aux infestations qu'elles sont cultivées pour la plupart dans des régions tropicales, créant des conditions favorables aux organismes nuisibles. On utilise les pesticides pour contrôler différents parasites de la banane, dont la cercosporiose noire, capable de réduire les rendements de 35% à 50% dans les plantations. La contamination causée par l'utilisation intensive de produits agrochimiques dans les monocultures reste un défi. Les inquiétudes concernant les risques liés à l'utilisation de pesticides se reflètent de plus en plus dans la demande du marché. Pour les producteurs, cette évolution appelle un changement dans les systèmes de production et de commercialisation qui les conduit à approfondir leurs connaissances techniques tout en maintenant la viabi lité économique des exploitations bananières. Il est donc important de limiter autant que possible l'utilisation des pesticides et d'en assurer une bonne gestion avant, pendant et après l’application pour pouvoir réduire les risques sociaux et environnementaux qui leur sont associés.

Book (stand-alone)Field 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)Guidance on integrated pest management for the world’s major crop pests and diseases 2025
Also available in:
No results found.In this volume, FAO has compiled integrated pest management (IPM) measures for eight global priority pests and pathogens, based upon geographical distribution, severity and societal importance. Each chapter offers a ‘bundle’ of IPM solutions for the principal pest threats of cereal grains, potato, fruits and vegetables. It offers a wide spectrum of tailored solutions ranging from traditional approaches, such as crop sanitation and good agronomy, to modern DNA-based technologies, marker-assisted breeding, and innovative tools such as robotics, biological control and biopesticides, as well as digital alert systems. By emphasizing biodiversity-based and agroecological preventative measures, and providing innovative ways to integrate stand-alone technologies, readers are presented with practical ways to establish climate-resilient, pest-suppressive cropping systems. As such, this volume can be of immediate value for government decision-makers, pest management practitioners, development partners, agro-industry actors and farmers.
