April 1998, Issue no. 52 ISSN: 1523-7893 Š Copyright 2005 IPM NEWS --- international IPM news and programs I. IPM NEWS / APPLICATIONS international IPM news and programs Sub-Saharan IPM Communication Promoted IPM's future in sub-Saharan Africa gained impetus when more than 80 international scientists and IPM specialists gathered 1-6 March 1998 at Nairobi, KENYA, during the "Integrated Pest Management Communications and Information Workshop for Eastern and Southern Africa," (ICWESA) to explore ways in which access to electronic mail and the Internet could enhance and expedite IPM communication and knowledge transfer in sub-Saharan Africa. Attendees included key personnel involved in IPM extension, implementation, and research representing national and international programs, as well as non-governmental organizations, farmers and their representatives, the commercial private sector, and electronic information specialists. The venue was the International Centre of Insect Physiology and Ecology. The Workshop's ultimate aim, a program spokesman noted, was to help facilitate delivery of IPM information throughout the region to improve development and implementation of IPM by farmers in collaboration with research and extension intermediaries. A workshop website and laboratory was set up to enable both participants, and other interested persons, to read regular reports on deliberations and feed in contributions electronically before and during the workshop. Information developed at the Workshop is available on its website: ipm-www.ento.vt.edu:8000/ail/ipmcw/intro.html. The pilot workshop culminated 18 months of planning, carried out principally through e-mail, and was the first step towards making the information available to the end users. The event involved sponsorship and participation of a broad coalition of organizations, principally organized by the IPM Partnership (IPMForum, IPMEurope, CICP, and the International Research Center's Special Programs in IPM), with funds provided by Dutch and U.S. government agencies. excerpted from a draft report by Workshop Organizers. Resurgence of Phytopthora infestans After more than 150 years, the fungus responsible for the Irish Potato Famine in the 1840s is back as a virulent strain that is causing widespread crop devastation in the U.S. while posing a continuing challenge to plant pathologists. Agricultural scientists are finding strains of the fungus, Phytopthora infestans, better known as late blight, difficult to control, says W. Fry, a Cornell Univ. (USA) professor of plant pathology. Fry believes the new strain of the fungus is a greater threat to potato and tomato crops in the U.S.
and Canada than were previous strains because it is resistant to the most effective fungicide, and because the strain is more aggressive. As one response, the American Phytopathological Society (APS) has established an on-line information clearinghouse that marshals the most comprehensive information available. The APS response is an interactive, educational website at that includes historical impacts of late blight, and highlights from key research articles. It also presents an online curriculum and offers links to other key late blight information and is aimed at concentrating as much background and technical information as possible. Dr. Fry also pointed out that, "Massive educational and international research efforts are essential," and that a feasible strategy to effectively control late blight can only be developed through the continued global research and collaboration. The APS website's late blight feature is expected to only be available for a limited time.

IPM MEDLEY general information, publications of interest, and other resources for IPM information Special Feature Section INITIATIVES TO SPUR IPM ADOPTION Integrated pest management: in theory and practice it's a worthy concept. But despite positive results from accelerating lab and trial research and innovative field application, the pace of broad, universal adoption of IPM strategies by growers remains sluggish. Among several fundamental reasons why are: resentment of imposed technologies ("from above," or by "governmental edict"); fear of crop loss, or risk of financial disaster; societal implications (running counter to established norms); and consumer/market demands (crop visual characteristics and other quality control concerns). Several ongoing efforts, plus some realistic new thinking, are aimed at unblocking massive IPM adoption. While differing in approach, the three initiatives briefly cited (below) focus on human elements all too often ignored when encouraging adoption of something new and possibly unfamiliar. IPMnet NEWS welcomes reader comment on this important topic. Farmers Involved in their Own Future One of the more encouraging successes for gaining IPM acceptance, particularly by smaller-plot farmers in less developed areas, hinges on a dual thrust of organizing farmer field schools to acquaint farmers with basic concepts of alternative pest management techniques, and then involving the farmers themselves in developing strategies that fit their individual needs. The Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations, among others, utilized this approach with extensive programs in Asia and has reported substantial success. The system of international agricultural research centers (CGIAR) has also embraced farmer participatory research (FPR). A CGIAR task force on specific application of FPR to IPM (FPR-IPM) met in 1996 to develop strategies to reduce the gap between IPM research and its implementation. The task force seeks to promote FPR in IPM projects carried out by the CGIAR
Centers and collaborating partners. However, circumstances caused a delay in activity until recently when A. Braun, a research specialist with extensive experience and success with the FPR method, was selected as coordinator for the FPR-IPM task force. Dr. Braun has established a list server for FPR-IPM. Its objective is to provide a forum for people and institutions interested in fostering farmer participation in research and development of IPM. A draft concept document (based on material from the 1996 task force meeting) was prepared and Braun invited those with an interest to review and comment on the new revised draft version. FMI: A.

Overcoming Risk as a Barrier to Adoption IPM, as a farming practice with potential for significant public benefit, is not being widely used because, in adopting a new technology, farmers confront a risk that the technology may not perform under their local conditions and may even catastrophically fail. The perceived economic and social risks, notes the Agricultural Conservation Innovation Center (ACIC), a new U.S.-based program seeking to develop and deliver economically practical solutions to agricultural-environmental problems, outweigh IPM's stated benefits and slow its acceptance. According to a 1996 study, risk is a major influence in a farmer's decision to accept or reject a pest management strategy. Risk even prevents adoption of IPM when farmers believe it would be profitable. While other barriers to adoption exist, ACIC asserts that risk of crop failure is the most important. In fact, notes ACIC, farmers actually face two kinds of production risk when considering adoption of any new practice, but especially IPM: innovation risk, and operating risk. The former involves concern over trying something untried and possibly untested under prevailing local conditions, while operating risk refers to uncertainties that arise with weather and other uncontrolled natural conditions as they impact pest populations and diversity. ACIC has launched an effort to "develop and market risk management instruments to increase the rate of adoption" of IPM, that is, create commercial insurance policies that insure a farmer against crop losses caused by using IPM. The Center's well thought-out multi-step procedure involves scouting and other elements of IPM. An insurance policy is projected to cost about 25 percent of the savings generated from reduced pesticide application. A private insurance company is developing policies for use throughout the country which, ACIC believes, will provide a powerful incentive to adopt IPM and other technologies.

Helping Prime the Pump The U.S. state of California has launched a new, US0,000 per year matching grant program to create alliances targeted at reducing pesticide risks to workers,
consumers, and the environment. Pest Management Alliance grants were established to encourage reduction of pest management that is heavily dependent on pesticide application. The state expects to fund seven major grants, each ranging up to US0,000 annually, for applied research, demonstration projects, or a combination of the two. The projects selected also must serve as practical models for adopting new pest management practices throughout an industry and across the state. Grant recipients must match their Alliance awards. Alliance grants, the latest in a series of pesticide-reducing initiatives by California that rely on communication, cooperation, and incentives, rather than regulatory commands, join another parallel effort, the annual "IPM Innovator" awards, which recognize leadership in developing and using innovative pest management techniques. The state encourages non-traditional solutions to agricultural and urban pest problems and has streamlined its registration process to speed approval of new products that help reduce pesticide usage.

SUCCESSFULLY EXTENDING IPM Extending or introducing IPM practices to actual users can be a daunting task equal to, if not greater than, conducting IPM research. Several programs around the globe have had notable success introducing IPM concepts and practices to user communities in developing nations through various combinations of training and direct user involvement. An important recent publication, EXTENSION OF COMPLEX ISSUES; SUCCESS FACTORS IN INTEGRATED PEST MANAGEMENT, published by the Swiss Center for Agricultural Extension, reviews five projects and presents the "success factors" that emerged from each. Editors P. Schmidt, et al, then present 17 "theses," supported by illustrative examples, that present key conclusions, such as: furthering users' self-confidence enhances their
decision-making capabilities, a key to IPM acceptance and practice. The 100-page, softcover work is attractively designed and thorough in its coverage.
