Lecture 28: INTEGRATED PEST MANAGEMENT - ISSUES AND OPTIONSECOFRIENDLY IPM-INDIGENOUS/TRADITIONAL TECHNOLOGIES IN
IPM
Constrains in IPM have been listed by IPM task force as follows:
i. Institutional constraint
IPM requires interdisciplinary approach to solve pest problem. Lack of
coordination among different institution is a constraint. Research programme based
on farmer’s neem - is lacking.
ii. Informational constraint
Lack of information on IPM among farmers and extension worker. Lack of
training on IPM.
iii. Sociological constraint
Some farmers feel it is risky to adopt IPM compared to use of pesticides alone.
Our farmers are habituated to using more pesticides.
iv. Economic constraint
Lack of funds for training farmers and extension workers on the use of IPM.
v. Political constraint
- Vested interest associated with pesticide trade
- Pesticide subsidy by Government
These are the constraints for the implementation of IPM.
Options/strategies in IPM implementation
Acceleration of IPM implementation requires the following
i. Farmer’s participation
Farmers must be encouraged to participate in IPM and give their views.
ii. Government support
Government can remove subsidies on pesticides and allot more fund for IPM
implementation.
iii. Legislative measures
Suitable legislation (law) may be passed for adopting IPM by all farmers (IPM
will be successful only if adopted on community basis).
iv. Improved institutional infrastructure
National level institution for implementation of IPM is a must. Data base on
role of biotic and abiotic factors on pest population, crop yield are required.
