Resumen
Descripción
Integrated Pest Management projects in South-East Asia have been very successful in reducing use of pesticides. Solid evidence has been presented in many rice-growing countries of Asia that natural control of insect pests, and minimised, strategic use of pesticides can substantially contribute to rice yields. As evidenced in Figures 1&2 excessive use of pesticides may lead to more pests. Yet excessive use of pesticides has returned as an issue of concern in Asia in spite of successful Integrated Pest Management (IPM) achievements, certainly as a consequence of changes in the policy arrangement.
