BookletGeneral guidelines for developing and implementing a regional IPM strategy for fall armyworm control in demonstration countries 2021
Also available in:
No results found.Fall Armyworm (FAW, Spodoptera frugiperda) is a pest originating in the Americas: it can fly over 100 km per day; it feeds on over 80 hosts; and a female moth can deposit 1 000 eggs during its life. Challenges in mitigating FAW damage include, among others, lack of the following: coordination at global, regional and national levels; effective monitoring and control techniques; and effective phytosanitary measures and capacity at national level. The Global Action for Fall Armyworm Control (GA, 2020-2022) was launched by FAO Director-General QU Dongyu on 4 December 2019 with a mandate for a strong and coordinated approach to strengthen prevention and sustainable pest control capacities. The GA focuses on Africa, Asia-Pacific and the Near East, where an integrated pest management (IPM) strategy will be implemented in countries with significant pest presence, and a prevention strategy will be conducted in areas with limited or no distribution of the pest. The GA has continued to support countries in managing FAW throughout the COVID-19 pandemic by conducting webinars and virtual trainings on FAW monitoring and management and by implementing activities where possible. These guidelines provide a framework for the development of regional strategies aimed at managing fall armyworm (FAW) by developing evidence-based integrated pest management (IPM) packages. Of particular value is the list of various IPM options given in Tables 1-3. A narrative outline of IPM tactics is provided in Appendix 1. -

DocumentVegetable cultivation with ridge sowing, farmyard manure, multi-cropping and integrated pest management under drought conditions in Pakistan 2018
Also available in:
No results found.This technology describes the introduction of ridge sowing, farmyard manure (FYM), multi-cropping and Integrated Pest Management (IPM) practices for vegetable production (okra, sunflower and sugarcane crops) in the Ghotki district in Pakistan. The construction of ridges or raised beds reduces the total area to which surface irrigation is applied, as only the areas between ridges or raised beds are flooded thus reducing water needs by 20-30 percent.
