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 for western 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 (Hyphantria cune) in Georgia– potato moth (Phthorimaea operculella) in Armenia and in the region– Tomato leafminer (Tuta absoluta) in the region– Golden nematode (Globodera rostochiensis) Central Asia– European gypsy moth (Lymantria dispar) Central Asia
Country requests – FAO REU responses
Problems appeared • Quarantine and regular pests
– Fall web-worm in Georgia
– Potato moth in Armenia
– Tuta absoluta in the region
– Mole species
– List of most spread pests and diseases in Georgia and Armenia
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
ProjectSupport the Government of Georgia in the elaboration of IPM program for fall webworm control (Hyphantrea cunea)
ProjectSupport the Government of Georgia in the elaboration of IPM program for fall webworm control (Hyphantrea cunea)
Main factors identified:• First recorded in 1970-1976,
but outbreaks only in 90’s
• Hazelnut: important crop - highly preferred by the pest
• Quarantine status: NFA is obliged to control
• Chemicals: use of non selective chemicals, norotation of active ingradients
Assistance provided:• Stakeholders and technical workshops• Training materials• IPM program - action plans
less isolation, more habitat
WHY?
farmers not involved
Possible reasons:
no ecosystem services

List of most spread pest and diseases in Georgia
Project Support the Government of Armenia in the elaboration of IPM program for potato moth control (Phthorimaea operculella)
Main issues identified :• Lack of awareness of non-
chemical pest control options• Lack of IPM compatible active
ingredients of pesticides in the country;
Assistance provided:• Stakeholders and technical
workshops• Training materials• IPM program - action plans

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, Phytosanitary Organisations, 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
