Integrated Pest Management (IPM) in Okra for export to European Union

Okra (Abelmoschus esculentus), is an important vegetable crop in India. The crop is attacked by more than 72 insect pests which infest the crop from seedling to harvest. Amongst them, Melon Thrips (Thrips palmi), Leafhopper (Amarasca biguttula), Whitefly (Bemisia tabaci), Aphids (Aphis gossypii), Shoot and fruit borer (Earias vittela & Earias insulana), Okra fruit borer (Helicoverpa armigera) and Aphids (Aphis gossypii) are most serious pests from quarantine point of view as these pests may find a place in the pathway of okra fruits export to European Union. Here is an extension folder on Integrated Pest Management (IPM) in Okra for export to European Union.

Impact, Outcome and Success stories of different components of Integrated Pest Management (IPM)

Introduction:-

Directorate of Plant Protection, Quarantine & Storage has been implementing Integrated Pest Management (IPM) programme through its 31 Central Integrated Pest Management Centres (CIPMCs) in different states of India since 1991-92. Various activities like pest Survey, surveillance & monitoring, IPM demonstration, promotion of bio-control of different crop pests and weeds, conducting Farmers Field Schools and short and long duration training programmes under Human resource development programme are being carried out by these centres in different crops. The impact, outcome and success stories achieved through these IPM activities are enumerated as under: -

1.     Pest Survey and Surveillance Programmes:-

     Pest survey and surveillance programmes conducted in different crops to monitor the pest and disease situation helped: -

(I)               To detect the early incidence of the pest and disease build up in advance enabling the Agriculture Extension Officers for issuance of timely advisories for the adoption of suitable management strategies.
