Synopsis (short abstract) The leaflet presents the tool used in the Laos Climate Services for Agriculture (LaCSA) to collect pest and disease data in near-real time. The real-time pest and disease outbreak data are collected by PPC since many years. Under the collaboration with FAO, the data are now used as part of the LaCSA to produce climate services for farmers at weekly and monthly intervals. Near real-time pests and diseases input forms and incidence reports are also presented. In addition, the leaflet also explains how the new tool helps with strategic pests and disease planning and outbreak management, to improve the capacities of farmers at the local level, and to leverage proactive farming practices. Finally, the leaflet explains how government entities and national and local NGOs who work in agriculture promotion can use this information for capacity building and rural development programs.

No results found.

The manual is intended to serve as a guide to the statistical methodology for assessing and collecting data on pre-harvest foodgrain losses due to pests and diseases. It should be useful to those developing countries which plan to launch foodgrain losses reduction programmes but find themselves seriously handicapped because of lack of basic data. The manual will go a long way in assisting those who will be charged with the responsibility of planning and implementing surveys for estimating pre-harvest foodgrain losses due to pests and diseases.
