FAO Regional views: Emerging pests in REU Plant Production and Protection FAO REU CPM-9
Activities in the region related to the Emerging Pest in REU • Previous projects • 2003-2008: Integrated pest management forwestern corn rootworm (WCR) in Central and Eastern Europe • 2008-2009: Strengthening phytosanitary and agrochemical services in Moldova • Emerging issues in the REU • fall web-worm (Hyphantriacune) in Georgia • potato moth (Phthorimaeaoperculella) in Armenia and in the region • Tomatoleafminer (Tuta absoluta) in the region • Golden nematode (Globoderarostochiensis) Central Asia • European gypsy moth (Lymantriadispar) Central Asia
Country requests – FAO REU responses Problems appeared Activities Pest management Assessment of the problem in the country Stakeholders workshops Technical workshops Training materials for dissemination, brochure and leaflets for farmers and extension service IPM program - action plans • Quarantine and regular pests • Fall web-worm in Georgia • Potato moth in Armenia • Tutaabsolutain the region • Mole species • List of most spread pests and diseases in Georgia and Armenia

ProjectSupport the Government of Georgia in the elaboration of IPM program for fall webworm control (Hyphantrea cunea) Main factorsidentified: • Firstrecordedin 1970-1976, butoutbreaksonlyin 90’s • Hazelnut:important crop - highly preferred by the pest • Quarantinestatus: NFA is obligedtocontrol • Chemicals: use of non selectivechemicals, norotation of activeingradients • Assistanceprovided: • Stakeholders and technical workshops • Training materials • IPM program - action plans WHY? Possible reasons: less isolation, more habitat farmers not involved no ecosystem services

How to address IPM • First Regional awareness raising workshop on IPM • IPM approach, principles, innovative technologies, trends in Europe • discuss issues, identify gaps and propose solutions • National workshops • Identify and involve stakeholders • discuss issues, identify gaps and propose solutions • Capacity building to plant protection related institutes • Ministry, NPPO, PhytosanitaryOrganisations, farmers associations, extension services • Link between research/education and practice • Test IPM tools locally, link with Agricultural Universities • Training for Trainers • Improve capacity of extension service providers and of advisors • Develop training materials
