IPM [Integrated pest management] Implementation Workshop for East/Central/Southern Africa: workshop proceedings, Harare, Zimbabwe, 1993
1994
Pests are responsible for enormous losses in crop production worldwide. Synthetic pesticides however, as well as potentially being harmful to human and animal health and damaging to the environment, are very costly for farmers in developing countries. Integrated pest management is a strategy which keeps pests at an economic threshold level through the integration of a number of control techniques, and, as such, is the most suitable strategy for resource-poor farmers. The IPM workshop, held in Harare, Zimbabwe in April 1993, brought together key partners involved in crop protection and agricultural production in the region. Participants discussed the broad constraints to the implementation of IPM and devised sustaining inter-disciplinary strategies for overcoming these constraints and for strengthening national capabilities in IPM implementation
