The curriculum provides a concise overview of Integrated Pest Management (IPM) for a selection of crops, including paddy, groundnut, sesame, green gram, and chickpea. While the general concept of IPM remains consistent across these crops, the specific insect pests, diseases, and weeds encountered vary from one crop to another. For the sake of information, a list of pests is provided, along with brief messages tailored to Myanmar's context when necessary. Rather than delving into extensive descriptions of morphology, biology, ecology, and management, which can be readily found in published literature, the curriculum focuses on enhancing farmers' knowledge of the pests that impact field crop yields, including insects, plant diseases, weeds, and rodents. It aims to equip farmers with the skills to manage these pests effectively, promoting crop production while preserving environmental resources for sustainable agriculture.
The curriculum offers a comprehensive introduction to Integrated Pest Management (IPM) for a diverse range of crops, encompassing paddy, groundnut, sesame, green gram, and chickpea. While the overarching principles of IPM remain consistent across these crops, the specific insect pests, diseases, and weeds encountered differ significantly. To provide a comprehensive understanding, a list of pests is presented, along with concise messages tailored to Myanmar's unique circumstances when necessary. Rather than offering exhaustive descriptions of morphology, biology, ecology, and management, which can be readily accessed in published literature, the curriculum aims to enhance farmers' knowledge of the pests that hinder field crop yields, encompassing insects, plant diseases, weeds, and rodents. By equipping farmers with the necessary skills and knowledge, the curriculum seeks to promote crop production while preserving environmental resources for sustainable agriculture.
