Spot the Pest, Stop the Damage Governments use standardized FAW ID guides to ensure extension agents and farmers across the country are working with the same information to recognize FAW. This consistency improves surveillance, allowing local officers to confirm new sightings rapidly and enabling a quicker government response. Proper identification prevents unnecessary pesticide use on harmless insects, supporting governmental goals to reduce chemical misuse. Investing in nationwide FAW ID training builds a grassroots early warning system, allowing officials to pinpoint small infestations and coordinate control operations quickly, thereby protecting the national maize crop.
Optimizing Pesticide Application for Sustainable Agriculture The CABI Crop Sprayer is a mobile application designed to assist farmers and agricultural extension workers in accurately calculating pesticide quantities for crop protection. By ensuring precise application, it promotes effective pest control while minimizing environmental impact.
long lasting banana nicknamed 'kiwangazi' by farmers. The KABANA 6H/NARITA7 is a high-yielding banana hybrid developed by IITA and NARO. It’s known for its tolerance to diseases like black Sigatoka and pests like weevils and nematodes, which increases the longevity of banana plantations. With a real-life yield of 57.7 kg per bunch and a potential yield of 60 tons/ha/year, it offers significant economic return. This variety was introduced to combat the decreased lifespan and yield decline in Uganda’s banana plantations.
Ecopticide Agri, your 3-in-1 bio product against insect, fungi and nematode Ecopticide Agri emerged as a groundbreaking environmental solution designed to combat the escalating challenges faced by farmers in pest management. Conventional approaches led to harvest losses, reduced production yield, and environmental concerns such as soil depletion and biodiversity loss. Pests developed resistance to existing control products, rendering them less effective. In response, Ecopticide Agri was developed to provide a multifunctional, preventive solution, reducing the risk of pest invasions and enhancing crop protection.
Balanced Protection for Sustainable Harvests Integrated Management of Insects, Diseases, and Weeds in Wheat (IPM) is an approach designed to minimize the use of chemical pesticides while maximizing natural control mechanisms for pests. It involves a combination of biological, mechanical/physical, and cultural techniques tailored to local conditions. IPM is crucial in preventing the emergence of pesticide-resistant pests, ensuring lasting crop protection, and maintaining food safety and environmental integrity.
