and Integrated Pest Management - part - usaid

ROLE OFINSE T-RIE-SISTANTI VARIIE'll-S IP ..iCE IM SYSTE1MS 53
A great deal of IPM technology is already available, but much of this has
not yet reached the rice farmers of Southeast Asia. However, there has been an
increase in emphasis on rice pest management in international and national rice
production programs. IRRI has cooperated with national programs in the
training of national scientists in the principles and practices of rice IPM. The
FAO Integrated Pest Control Program for Rce is extending IPM to the farm
level. The close working relationships of the international and national
programs are effectively delivering the technology to farmers.
I belizve that it is not being overly optimistic to predict that the breakdown
of crop protection practices as described for cotton will not occur in rice, and ihat
rice farmers will move from the exploitation phase to the integrated control
phase without passing through the disaster phase.
