The focus is put on maize but the information provided is also relevant for other crops potentially affected. A...
The fall armyworm (FAW, Spodoptera frugiperda) has recently spread to many countries in Africa, the Near East, Asia and the Pacific. In sub-Saharan Africa (SSA), more than 300 million people depend on FAW's preferred host plant, maize, as a staple crop. Hence, the spread of FAW in SSA has the...
Homemade botanical insecticides are widely used by subsistence and transitional farmers in low-income countries. Their use is often driven by the limited availability or cost of commercial pesticides. Homemade botanical insecticides are often recommended by agricultural extension services and some...
The fall armyworm (FAW, Spodoptera frugiperda) originates from the tropical and sub-tropical regions of the Americas. Recently it was reported for the first time in Africa and has since spread rapidly across more than 30 countries in the continent. Chemical pesticides are being promoted and used...
This manual aims to make information resources and technical advice available in order to support the deployment of biopesticides, which include microbials (e.g. bacteria, algae, protozoa, viruses and fungi), macrobials (e.g. predatory insects, parasitoids and beneficial nematodes), botanicals, and ...

The full list of activities in each of the seven main areas, i.e. 'understanding IPM', 'general information about crop protection agents (CPAs)', 'selecting CPAs', 'personal safety and contamination', 'CPA handling and application', 'post-spraying activities' and 'CPA storage', of the core IPM...
This section of the Training Guide on Integrated Pest Management in Tobacco contains review games which can be used to re-enforce terminology and concepts from many different sections of the course material. They can be interspersed immediately after training on a topic or later on as a refresher.
This training guide on integrated pest management in tobacco incorporates information from many different sources. Lists of references are given, which provide valuable background information and ideas.
As described in chapter 1, national training programmes are intended to build the knowledge and commitment of field technicians and farmers so that they are able and willing to reduce unnecessary crop protection agent (CPA) use, select appropriate CPAs and manage CPAs responsibly. Training alone...
