    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.

    GUIDELINES FOR MONITORING DISEASES, PESTS AND WEEDS IN CEREAL CROPS 2016
    Also available in:
    Since 2011, the FAO Subregional Office for Central Asia (FAO-SEC), in close collaboration with the International Winter Wheat Improvement Programme (IWWIP), CIMMYT and ICARDA, and with the support of national consultants in the field of plant protection has provided technical assistance to the countries in the region on the monitoring of diseases, pests and weeds in cereal crops. The main purpose of this work is to collect information about the prevalence of major diseases, pests and weeds, as w ell as identification of varieties resistant to diseases, particularly to aggressive races of stem rust. The first results of the monitoring of diseases, pests and weeds in cereal crops were discussed at the Regional Experts Consultation Meeting held during 27-28 February 2013 in Almaty, Kazakhstan. Following the meeting, it was decided to prepare unified guidelines for the monitoring of diseases, pests and weeds in cereal crops.
