Integrated pest management in the Tropics

The United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP), and the International Centre of Insect Physiology and Ecology (ICIPE) undertook a global review of IPM to assess its impact and related activities in tropical regions of Asia, Africa and South America. This volume assesses the current status and future prospects for IPM in these regions. It provides a unique overview of the efforts made to develop and implement IPM for the pests of livestock and agroforestry in selected countries in the tropics, as well as a survey of IPM strategies an a crop-by-crop basis for each continent. The book gives an honest appraisal of both the successes and failures of past IPM programmes and suggests new directions that IPM must develop, if it is to be adopted by farmers and governments on a scale necessary to change their current reliance on chemical pesticides.
