  8. Why Work in Central Asia Region? • The region was isolated for many decades • Currently there is no regional IPM program; CGIAR presence in the region • No formal extension system; NGOs play a major role • Less diverse cropping systems, with cotton and wheat are the major crops • Many issues related to agricultural practices such as overuse and misuse of pesticides • Language barrier

  9. May 2005 - Central Asia IPM Stakeholders Forum Participants Participatory and Collaborative Approach

  10. Sunn pest is a major pest of wheat.

  11. Wheat is a staple crop; wheat bread is part of the daily diet and sold in local markets.

  12. Uzbekistan has 800 biolaboratories that mass produce biological control agents. • Poor efficiency • Narrow product line

  13. Biolabolatory for mass production of bio-control agents

  14. Objectives of the Regional IPM Center • Break isolation--foster networking and linkages among IPM specialists and institutions in the region and with the international IPM community • Through participatory approach, develop and integrate ecologically-based IPM information and end-user oriented IPM educational packages in crop management programs. • To train and build a regional team of IPM specialists to support various stakeholders (e.g., governments, universities, NGOs, etc.) for promoting ecologically-based IPM research and outreach.

  15. Key Components of the Central Asia Regional IPM Program • Landscape Ecology to Enhance Biodiversity and Biological Pest Management (MSU) • Improving Efficiency and Expanding product Lines of Bio-laboratories in Central Asia Region (UC-Davis) • IPM Extension/Outreach and Education (MSU)

  16. Approach to regional IPM program • Working closely with ICARDA taking advantage of their well-established regional network and CGIAR Project Facilitation Unit (PFU) in Tashkent, Uzbekistan. • Three-member Research/Outreach Fellow team from the region based at the ICARDA regional program in Tashkent. • Active interaction of three member regional IPM team with NARS and U.S. collaborator in the implementation of collaborative research, outreach and capacity building programs.
