The importance of sound pest management for sustainable agricultural production is being recognized by many developing countries. Many countries have adopted sound pest management and Integrated Pest Management (IPM) policies authorizing plant protection services to coordinate the promotion of good practices. These policies provide the institutional framework for the planning and implementation of pest management.en-USCC BY 3.0 IGOAGRICULTURAL CHEMICALSAGRICULTURAL PEST MANAGEMENTAGRICULTURAL PRACTICESAGRICULTURAL PRODUCTIONAGRICULTURAL PRODUCTIVITYAGRICULTURAL PRODUCTSAGRICULTURAL TECHNOLOGYAGRICULTUREAGRICULTURE PROJECTSAGROCHEMICAL USEANIMAL HEALTHAVERAGE YIELDSAVRDCBACTERICIDESBENEFICIAL ORGANISMSBIOLOGICAL CONTROLBIOPESTICIDESBIOTECHNOLOGYCENTRAL AMERICACGIARCHEMICAL CONTROLCHEMICAL INDUSTRYCHEMICAL PEST CONTROLCHEMICAL PESTICIDESCHEMISTRYCLIENT COUNTRIESCOMMODITIESCONSULTATIVE GROUP ON INTERNATIONAL AGRICULTURAL RESEARCHCONSUMER AWARENESSCONTRACT FARMINGCOTTONCOTTON SECTORCROPCROP LOSSESCROP MANAGEMENTCROP PROTECTIONCROP ROTATIONCROP VARIETIESCROPPINGCROPSDEVELOPMENT BANKSDEVELOPMENT PROJECTSDEVELOPMENT RESEARCHDISEASE VECTORSDISEASESECOLOGYENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTENVIRONMENTAL RISKSEUROPEAN COMMISSIONEXOTIC PESTSEXTENSIONEXTERNAL INPUTSEXTERNALITIESFAIR TRADEFAOFARMFARM INCOMESFARM STORAGEFARMERFARMERSFARMINGFARMING SYSTEMSFERTILIZERSFOOD INDUSTRYFOOD PROCESSINGFOOD PRODUCTSFOOD SAFETYFUNGIFUNGICIDESGATTGENETIC ENGINEERINGGREEN REVOLUTIONHAZARDOUS CHEMICALSHERBICIDESIMPACT ASSESSMENTINCOMESINSECT PHYSIOLOGYINSECTICIDE USEINSECTICIDESINSECTSINTEGRATED PEST MANAGEMENTINTEGRATIONINTERNATIONAL FUND FOR AGRICULTURAL DEVELOPMENTIPMIPM POLICIESIPM PROGRAMSLABOR COSTSLIVELIHOODSMARKETINGMAXIMUM RESIDUE LEVELSMIDDLE EASTNATURAL ENEMIESNEW PESTICIDESNEW TECHNOLOGIESNGOSNORTH AFRICAPERSISTENT PESTICIDESPEST CONTROLPEST DAMAGEPEST MANAGEMENTPEST MANAGEMENT ACTIVITIESPEST MANAGEMENT IMPLEMENTATIONPEST MANAGEMENT METHODSPEST MANAGEMENT PLANPEST MANAGEMENT PLANSPEST MANAGEMENT PRACTICEPEST POPULATIONSPESTICIDEPESTICIDE ACTION NETWORKPESTICIDE INDUSTRYPESTICIDE ISSUESPESTICIDE POLICIESPESTICIDE PROCUREMENTPESTICIDE RESIDUESPESTICIDE RESIDUES IN FOODPESTICIDE RESISTANCEPESTICIDE TRADEPESTICIDE USEPESTICIDE USERSPESTICIDESPESTSPHYSIOLOGYPLANT PROTECTIONPOLLUTIONPOOR FARMERSPOTATOPOVERTY REDUCTIONPRIVATE SECTORPRODUCEPRODUCTION SYSTEMSRESOURCE POOR FARMERSRICERIO EARTH SUMMITRODENTICIDESRURAL DEVELOPMENTSAFEGUARD POLICIESSMALL PRODUCERSSPRAYINGSUB-SAHARAN AFRICASUSTAINABLE AGRICULTURESUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENTSYNTHETIC CHEMICAL PESTICIDESUNDPUNEPUNITED NATIONSUNITED STATES AGENCY FOR INTERNATIONAL DEVELOPMENTUSAIDWATER RESOURCESWATERSHEDWEEDSWorld Bank10.1596/8646
