8. Strengthening and Modernization of Pest Management Approach in India

(SMPMA)

‘Strengthening and Modernization of Pest Management Approach in India’ is a component

under Sub Mission of Plant Protection and Plant Quarantine (SMPPQ) which is a central

sector scheme under Krishi Unnati Yojana and has the following components:

I Integrated Pest Management (IPM)

Ia. Overview and Activities

Introduction:

Indiscriminate and injudicious use of chemical pesticides in agriculture has resulted in several

associated adverse effects such as environmental pollution, ecological imbalances, pesticides

residues in food, fruits and vegetables, fodder, soil and water, pest resurgence, human and

animal health hazards, destruction of bio-control agents, development of resistance in pests

etc. Therefore, Govt. of India has adopted Integrated Pest Management (IPM) as cardinal

principle and main plank of plant protection in the overall Crop Production Programme since

1985. IPM is an eco-friendly approach which encompasses cultural, mechanical, biological

and need based chemical control measures. The IPM approach is being disseminated through

various schemes/ projects at national and state level.

Objectives:

o Minimize the crop losses caused by pests and diseases.

o Encourage farmers to use various ecologically sustainable pest management

approaches rather than relying only on chemical pesticides.

o Promote use of bio-pesticides & bio-control agents in plant pest management.

o To promote Indigenous Technology Knowledge (ITKs).

o Conserve the diverse Agro- ecosystem for build-up of various natural enemies for

plant pests.

o Create awareness amongst farmers on

o (i) Safe and judicious use of chemical pesticides,(ii) To follow the label claims and

instructions on dose and use as approved by CIB&RC.

o Carryout survey and surveillance for pest and diseases with main emphasis to

forewarn the farmers on the potential epidemics of plant pests.

o Popularizing IPM in farming community by imparting training to Agriculture /

Horticulture Extension Functionaries and Farmers at Grass Root Level by organizing

Farmers Field Schools / 2 days / Five days HRD programmes and Season Long Training

Programmes of 30 days. In these programmes, they are being trained on latest IPM

technology and to adopt organic farming and bio-fertilizers as well.

o Liaison with Pesticide industry associations, ATMAs, State Agriculture Department,

KVKs, Farmers Clubs, SAUs, NGOs, etc.

23

Activities:

o Popularizing IPM approach among farming community.

o Conducting regular pest surveillance & monitoring to assess pest/disease situation.

o Rearing biological control agents for their field use and conservation of naturally

occurring bio-agents.

o Promotion of bio-pesticides and neem based pesticides as alternative to chemical

pesticides.

o To play a catalytic role in spread of innovative IPM skills to extension workers, land

farmers equally to resource-poor and resource-rich states.

o Human Resources Development (HRD) in IPM by imparting training to master

trainers, extension workers and farmers through Farmers’ Field Schools (FFSs).

o HRD programme (short duration) courses of two days and five days for pesticides

dealers/NGOs/Graduates/Post-graduates/Pvt. Entrepreneurs and progressive farmers.

o Season Long Training (SLT) programme on major agricultural/horticultural crops.

HRD programme (short duration) courses of two days and five days for pesticides

dealers/NGOs/Graduates/Post-graduates/Pvt. Entrepreneurs and progressive farmers.

Season Long Training (SLT) programme on major agricultural/horticultural crops.

The mandate of these Centres is pest/disease monitoring, production and release of bio-

control agents, conservation of bio-control agents and Human Resource Development in IPM

by imparting training to Agricultural Extension Officers and farmers at the grassroots levels

by organizing Farmers' Field Schools (FFSs) in the farmers’ fields.

Ib. IPM at A Glance

IPM seeks to promote cultural, mechanical, biological methods of pest control and

recommends use of chemical pesticides as a measure of last resort. The Central Government

has established 35 Central Integrated Pest Management Centers (CIPMCs) of Directorate of

Plant Protection, Quarantine & Storage (DPPQ&S) in 29 States and one UT.

2 Commencement In 1992, 26 Central Integrated Pest Management Centres (CIPMCs)

were established by merging all Central Plant Protection Stations

(CPPS), Central Surveillance Stations (CSS) and Central Biological

Control Stations (CBCS). Later on 5 more CIPMCs were

established in 10th Five Year Plan & further 4 nos. in 12th Five

Year Plan period. As on date 35 CIPMCs are working in 29 States

& 1 UT.

11. Impact of IPM Crop yield increased from 6.72 – 40.14% in rice and 22.7 –

26.63% in cotton in IPM fields compared to non-IPM fields.

Chemical pesticide sprays were reduced to the extent of 50-

100% in rice and 29.96 to 50.5% in cotton.

Use of biopesticides/neem based pesticides increased from

123 MT during 1994-95 to 7028 MT (Tech. Grade) during

2017-18.

Over all consumption of chemical pesticide in the country

reduced from 61357 MT (Tech. grade) during 1994-95 to

57550 MT (Tech. Grade) during 2017-18.

Ic. Components of IPM

The major components of IPM in increasing order of complexity are as under:

a. Cultural practices:

Cultural methods of pest control consist of regular farm operations in such a way which

either destroy the pests or prevent them from causing economic loss. The various cultural

practices are as under.

Preparation of nurseries or main fields free from pest infestation by removing plant

debris, trimming of bunds, treating of soil and deep summer ploughing which kills

various stages of pests.

Proper drainage system in field be adopted.

Testing of soil for nutrients deficiencies on the basis of which fertilizers should be

applied.

Selection of clean and certified seeds and treating seeds with fungicide or bio-

pesticides before sowing for seed borne disease control.

27

Selection of seeds of relatively pest resistant/tolerant varieties which play a significant

role in pest suppression.

Adjustment of time of sowing and harvesting to escape peak season of pest attack.

Rotation of crops with non-host crops. It helps in reduction of incidence of soil borne

diseases.

Proper plant spacing which makes plants healthier and less susceptible to pests.

Optimum use of fertilizer. Use of FYM and bio-fertilizers should be encouraged.

Proper water management (alternate wetting and drying to avoid water stagnation) as

the high moisture in soil for prolonged period is conducive for development of pests

especially soil borne diseases.

Proper weed management. It is well-known fact that most of weeds beside competing

with crop for micro nutrients also harbor many pests.

Setting up yellow pan sticky traps for white flies and aphids at far above canopy

height.

Synchronized sowing. Here community approach is required to sow the crops

simultaneously in vast area so that pest may not get different staged crops suitable for

its population build up and if pest appears in damaging proportion, control operation

could be applied effectively in whole area.

Growing trap crops on the borders or peripheries of fields. There are certain crops

which are preferred more by a pest species are known as trap crops for that pest. By

growing such crops on the border of the fields, pest population develop there which

can be either killed by using pesticides or its natural enemies are allowed to develop

there for natural control.

Root dip or seedling treatment in pest infested area.

Inter-cropping or multiple cropping wherever possible. All the crops are not preferred

by each pest species and certain crops act as repellents, thus keeping the pest species

away from preferred crops resulting in reduction of pest incidence.

Harvesting as close as to ground level. This is because certain developmental stages

of insect pests/diseases remain on the plant parts which act as primary inoculum for

the next crop season. Hence, harvesting crops at ground level will lessen the incidence

of pests in next season.

Before planting, nursery plants be sprayed/dipped in copper fungicide/ bio pesticide

solutions to protect the plants from soil borne diseases.

While pruning fruit trees, remove crowded/dead/broken/diseased branches and

destroy them. Do not pile them in the orchards which may act as source of pest

infestation.

Large pruning wounds should be covered with Bordeaux paste/paint to protect the

plants from pest/disease attack.

For excellent fruit set, pollinizer cultivars should be planted in required proportion in

the orchards.

Keeping bee hives or placing flower bouquets of pollinizer cultivars facilitate better

pollination and subsequent fruit set.

Mechanical practices:

Removal and destruction of egg masses, larvae, pupae and adults of insect pests and

diseases parts of plants wherever possible.

28

Installation of bamboo cage cum bird perchers in the field and placing parasitized egg

masses inside them for conservation of natural enemies and withholding of pest

species wherever possible.

Use of light traps and destruction of trapped insects.

Use of rope for dislodging leaf feeding larvae e.g. caseworm and leaf folders.

Installation of bird scarer in the field where required.

Installation of bird perchers in the field for allowing birds to sit and feed on insects

and their immature stages viz., eggs, larvae and pupae.

Use of pheromones for mating disruption and kill zone creation.

Use of pheromone traps for monitoring and suppression of pest population.

Use of pheromone traps for mass trapping.

Genetical practices:

Selection of high yielding varieties for different crops

Selection of comparatively pest resistant/tolerant varieties

Use of genetically modified seeds e.g. B.t. cotton

Release of sterile males of insects in sufficient number in field to compete with fertile

males. Sterility in males is induced in laboratory either through chemosterilants or

through radiation.

Regulatory practices:

In this process regulatory rules framed by Govt. are brought into force under which seeds and

infested plant materials are not allowed to enter the country or from one part to other parts of

the country. These are known as quarantine methods and are of two types i.e. domestic and

foreign quarantine.

Biological practices:

Biological control of insect pests and diseases through biological means is most important

component of IPM. In broader sense, biocontrol is use of living organisms to control

unwanted living organisms (pests). In other words, deliberate use of parasitoids, predators

and pathogens to maintain pest population at level blow those causing economic loss either

by introducing a new bioagent into the environment of pest or by increasing effectiveness of

those already preset in the field.

Parasitoids:

These are the organisms which lay eggs in or on the bodies of their hosts and complete their

life cycles on host bodies as a result of which hosts die. A parasitoid may be of different type

depending on the host developmental stage in or on which it completes its life cycle. For

example, egg, larval, pupal, adult, egg-larval and larval pupal parasitoids. Example are

different species of Trichogramma, Apanteles, Bracon, Chelonus, Brachemeria,

Pseudogonotopus etc.

Predators:

29

These are free living organisms which prey upon other organisms for their food. Examples

are different species of spiders, dragon flies, damsel flies, lady bird beetles, Chrysopa species,

birds etc.

Pathogens:

These are micro-organisims which infest and cause diseases in their hosts as a result of which

hosts are killed. Major groups of pathogens are fungi, viruses and bacteria. Some nematodes

also cause diseases in some insect pests. Important examples of fungi are different species of

Hirsutella, Beauveria, Nomurae and Metarhizium which have been reported to infest and kill

large number of insects (up to 90%) in the fields. Among viruses, most important examples

are of nuclear polyhedrosis virus (NPV) and granulosis viruses. Outbreak of viruses in

armyworms, cut worms, leaf folders, hairy caterpillars and plant hoppers have been reported

many times. Among bacteria, Bacillus thuringiensis (B.t.) and B. popillae are very common

examples. Diseases of pests can be mass multiplied in the laboratory at a low cost in liquid or

powdered formulations that can be sprayed like ordinary chemical pesticides. These

formulations are known as bio-pesticides. The different types of biocontrol practices are

grouped as under: -

a. Introduction

In this process, a new species of bioagent is introduced into a locality for its establishment

against its host. This is done only after thorough laboratory examination and field trials for its

efficacy.

b. Augmentation

In this process, the population of natural enemies already present in the area is increased by

releasing either laboratory reared or field collected bioagents of same species in such number

as would require to suppress the pest population in that area.

c. Conservation

This is most important component of biological control and plays a major role in pest

suppression. In this process, natural enemies present in the nature are protected from being

killed. The different practices required to protect the natural enemies are as below.

Collection of parasitized egg masses and placing them in bamboo cage-cum-bird

perchers for allowing emergence of parasitoids and withholding of pest larvae.

Educating farmers through field days, radios & TV to differentiate pests and

defenders and sparing the defenders during field sprays.

Chemical spray should be adopted as last resort and that too after observing pest

defender ratio and economic threshold level (ETL).

Use of broad-spectrum pesticides should be avoided.

Only selective and relatively environmental friendly (REF) pesticides should be used

where necessary.

As far as possible strip or spot application of pesticides be carried out.

Adjustment of time of sowing and harvesting to avoid the peak season of pest attack.

30

Growing trap crop on the borders of main fields before the actual sowing of crop to

trap pest and develop natural enemies.

Root dip/seedling treatment for gall midge prone area.

Crop rotation and inter-cropping also help in conservation of defenders.

Recommended dose and concentration of pesticides should be used.

Chemical practices:

Use of chemical pesticides is the last resort when all other methods fail to keep the pest

population below economic loss. Although there is a great advancement in pest management

research, yet pesticides would continue to play an important role in crop protection in view of

complexity of pest problems. Therefore, use of pesticides should be need based, judicious,

based on pest surveillance and economic threshold level (ETL) to minimize not only the cost

involved, but also to reduce associated problems. While going for chemical control, we must

understand thoroughly what to spray, when to spray, where to spray and how to spray,

keeping in mind the following points.

ETL and pest defender ratio must be observed

Relatively safer pesticides should be selected e.g. neem based and biopesticides.

If pest is present in strips or isolated patches, whole field should net be sprayed.

Relevance of IPM practices are more important in vegetable and fruit crops because of their

unique mode of consumption by human being. Pesticides which are generally highly toxic

and are known to have toxic residual effects could not be recommended off hand. To get

more profit, farmers do not wait until waiting periods of pesticides and harvest the crop to

market the same. This leads to pesticides poisoning, chronic effects, in some cases even

deaths. Thus, we have to be more careful and cautious in applying pest control practices in

field crops

Id. Successful Bio Control Programmes

Sugarcane Pyrilla (Pyrillaperpusilla):

There was a severe outbreak of Sugarcane Pyrilla during 1972-73 in the states of Punjab,

Haryana, U.P. and Bihar which was successfully controlled by utilization of potential

biocontrol agents like Egg parasitoidTetrastichuspyrillae and

NymphalpredatorEpipyropsmelanoleuca. This saved the Government Exchequer to the tune

of Rs.11.00 crores. Similarly, during 1987, there was again outbreak of this pest in some

Sugarcane growing states of the country, when again utilization of its potential bioagents

saved Govt. exchequer to the tune of Rs.16.00 crores. In 1994, severe incidence of this pest in

Karnataka was successfully controlled by its potential biocontrol agents.

Apple woolly aphid (Eriosomalanigerum) and Sanjose scale

(Quadraspidiotusperniciosus)

These two dreaded pests of apple plants are under check by their bioagents like

Aphelinusmali, Syrphusconfrater, Chrysopascelestesetc. in case of apple woolly aphid and

Encarsiaperniciosi, Aphytisspp., Chilocorusbijugus, Pharoscymnus spp. etc. in case of

Sanjose scale in apple growing states of the country

31

Water hyacinth (Eichhorniacrassipes):

This aquatic weed was successfully controlled in Southern states of India through its two

exotic phytophagous weevils i.e.Neochetinaeichhorniae and N. Bruchi.

Sugarcane white woolly aphid (Seratovacunalanigera):

This pest of sugarcane was also successfully managed by bio agents viz. Diphaaphidivora,

Chrysoperla spp., Coccinellid beetles, Syrphid flies and some spiders in the states of

Maharashtra and Karnataka, where its outbreak during 2003-04 had caused considerable

economic damage to the farmers.

American bollworm / Gram Caterpillar (Helicoverpaarmigera):

A polyphagous insect pest was successfully managed with the use of Nuclear Polyhidrosis

virus (NPV) on Cotton, Pulses, Vegetables, Oilseeds etc.in India.

IILocust Control & Research

IIa. Distribution

The invasion area of desert locust covers about 30 million sq km which includes whole or

parts of nearly 64 countries. This includes countries like North West and East African

countries, Arabian Peninsula, the Southern Republic of USSR, Iran, Afghanistan, the Indian

sub-continent.During recession periods when locust occurs in low densities, it inhabits a

broad belt of arid and semi-arid land which stretches from the Atlantic Ocean to North West

India. Thus, it covers over 16 millionssqkms in 30 countries

50

IIb. Economic Importance

In our country, in spite of taking control measures, damage to crops caused by locusts during

1926-31 cycles, on a conservative estimate, was about Rupees 10 crore. During 1940-46 and

1949-55 locusts cycles the damage was estimated at Rs. 2.00 crore each and it was only Rs.

50.00 lakh during the last locust cycle (1959-62). Although no locust plague cycles have been

observed after 1962, however, during 1978 and 1993, large scale upsurges were reported.

Damage estimated was Rs. 2.00 lakh in 1978 and Rs. 7.18 lakh in 1993.Thereafter,

insignificant damage by locust upsurges were reported largely due to the efforts of National,

Regional and International Organizations established to prevent plague under the overall

coordination of the Food and Agriculture Organisation.

IIc. Objectives

I. To monitor, forewarn and control locust in Scheduled Desert Area (SDA) being

International obligation and commitment.

II. To conduct research on locust and grasshoppers.

III. Liaison and coordination with National and International Organizations.

IV. Human resource development through training and demonstration for staff of Locust

Warning Organization (LWO), State officials, BSF personnel and Farmers.

V. To maintain control potential to combat locust emergency by organizing locust

control campaign.

However, the main objective of Locust Warning Organisation (LWO) is protection of

standing crops and other green vegetation from the ravages of Desert locust which is one of

the most dangerous pests occurring in desert areas throughout the world.

IId. Functions

I. Keep constant vigil through field survey to prevent crop losses due to locust attack in

approximately 2 lakh sq. kms. Scheduled Desert Area in the States of Rajasthan and

Gujarat

II. Avoid upsurge of locust population in SDA and entry of locust swarms into India

through prompt control operations.

III. Hold Indo-Pak Border meetings for exchange of locust situation information between

two Countries to effectively monitor the situation and ensure preparedness to tackle

the emerging locust threat, if any.

IV. Train the Farmers, State functionaries and locust staff on latest locust control

technologies.

V. Advise state functionaries, BSF personnel, Panchayat Raj Institutions to inform the

nearest LWO office if any locust activity was reported in their areas for needful

action.

VI. Issuance of Desert Locust Situation Bulletin at fortnightly intervals to inform all

concerned stakeholders about emerging locust situation in India.

VII. Conduct research at Field Station on Investigation on Locusts(FSIL) at Bikaner on

bio-efficacy of pesticides and bio-pesticides for locust control.

51

IIe. Mandate of Field Station for Investigations on Locust (FSIL)

o To conduct research study on various aspects of biology, ecology and behavior of

Locusts and Grasshoppers.

o To study and evaluate the different chemical and biological pesticides against Locusts

and Grasshoppers in Laboratory and field conditions.

o To evaluate and evolve new techniques for the control and monitoring of Locusts and

grasshoppers.

o

Publication work:

This station contributed/ published 158 scientific research papers on various aspects of

Locusts and Grasshoppers in different scientific journals of national and International repute.

International Cooperation programmes

I. To participate in the meetings/ sessions of the FAO’s Desert Locust Control

Committee.

II. To participate and organize the meetings/sessions of FAO’s Commission for

Controlling Desert Locust in South West Asia.

III. To participate in Joint Survey Programmes with Pakistan and Iran organized by FAO.

Desert Locust Bulletin:

Desert Locust Bulletins (DLBs) are being issued at fortnightly intervals every year to all

concerned at National and International level to apprise them of the latest situation of Desert

locust in India.

Indo-Pak Border Meeting:

Indo-Pak border meetings between the Locust officers of India and Pakistan are held every

year (June to November) either at Munabao (India side) and or at Khokhropar (Pakistan side)

for exchanging information on locust situation of both the countries.

IIf. Introduction

Insects have reined the world earlier than mankind. They are omnipresent right from below the earth

to hill top. Insects are very much associated with man’s life. Some are useful and some are highly

harmful to mankind, one of which is Desert locust, the most harmful insect in the world. They are

scourge of mankind since time immemorial.Locusts are the short-horned grasshoppers with

highly migratory habit, marked polymorphism and voracious feeding behavior. They are

capable of forming swarms (adult’s congregation) and hopper bands (nymphal congregation).

They cause great devastation to natural and cultivated vegetation. They are indeed the

sleeping giants that can flare up any time to inflict heavy damage to the crops leading to

national emergency of food and fodder.There are 10 important species of locusts in the world

listed below.

S. No. English Name Scientific Name

1. The Desert Locust Schistocercagregaria

2. The Bombay Locust Nomadacrissuccincta

3. The Migratory Locust Locusts migratoriamanilensis;

4. The Italian Locust Calliptamusitalicus

5. The Moroccan Locust Dociostaurusmorocannus

7. The Brown Locust Locustanapardalina

8. The South American

9. The Australian Locust Chortoicetestermenifera

10. The Tree Locust Anacridium Spp.

Only four species viz. Desert locust (Schistocercagregaria), Migratory locust

(Locustamigratoria), Bombay Locust ( Nomadacrissuccincta) and Tree locust (Anacridium

sp.) are found in India. The desert locust is most important pest species in India as well as in

intercontinental context.

53

IIg. History of locust invasion in India

Historically, the Desert Locust has always been a major threat to man’s well-being. The

Desert Locust is mentioned as curse to mankind in ancient writings viz. Old Testament-Bible

and the Holy Koran. The magnitude of the damage and loss caused by the locusts is very

gigantic beyond imagination as they have caused the starvation due to its being polyphagous

feeder, and on an average small locust swarm eats as much food in one day as about 10

elephants, 25 camels or 2500 people. Locust do cause damage by devouring the leaves,

flowers, fruits, seeds, bark and growing points and also by breaking down trees because of

their weight when they settle down in masses.

IIh. Locust plagues and upsurges

The attack of the desert locust used to occur earlier in a phases of plague cycles (a period of

more than two consecutive years of wide-spread breeding, swarm production and thereby

damaging of crops is called a plague period) followed by a period of 1-8 years of very little

locust activity called as the recession period again to be followed by another spell of plague.

India witnessed several locust plague and locust upsurges and incursions during last two

centuries as indicated below:

period 1998, 2002, 2005, 2007 and 2010. Since 2010 till 2012-13, situation remained calm

and no large scale breeding and swarms have been reported. However, solitary phase of

Desert locust has been reported from time to time at some locations in the State of Rajasthan

and Gujarat

Breeding Season:

In all, there are three breeding seasons for locusts (i) Winter breeding [November to

December], (ii) Spring breeding [January to June] and (iii) Summer breeding [July to

October].India has only one locust breeding season and that is Summer breeding. The

neighboring country Pakistan has both spring and summer breeding.

In India, the scheme Locust Control and Research (LC&R) is responsible for control of

Desert Locust and is being implemented through Organisation known as “Locust Warning

Organisation (LWO)” established in 1939 and later amalgamated with the Directorate of

Plant Protection Quarantine and Storage in 1946. Locust Warning organization (LWO) is

responsible to monitor and control the locust situation in Scheduled Desert Area (SDA)

mainly in the States of Rajasthan and Gujarat while partly in the States of Punjab and

Haryana by way of intensive survey, surveillance, monitoring and control operations where

required.

57

IIk. Mandate

Locust Warning Organisation (LWO), Directorate of Plant Protection Quarantine and

Storage, Min.of Agriculture, Department of Agriculture and Cooperation is responsible for

monitoring, survey and control of Desert Locust in Scheduled Desert Areas mainly in the

States of Rajasthan and Gujarat. Incursion of exotic locust swarms into India is prevented

through organization of suitable control operation. LWO keeps itself abreast with the

prevailing locust situation at National and International level through monthly Desert Locust

Bulletins of FAO issued by the Desert Locust Information Service (DLIS), AGP Division

Rome, Italy. Survey data are collected by the field functionaries from the fields which are

transmitted to LWO circle offices, field HQ Jodhpur and Central HQ Faridabad where these

are compiled and analyzed to forewarn the probability of locust outbreak and upsurges. The

locust situation is appraised to the State Governments of Rajasthan and Gujarat with the

advice to gear up their field functionaries to keep a constant vigil on locust situation in their

areas and intimate the same to nearest LWO offices for taking necessary action at their end.

Lot of innovations have been made in the field of locust survey and surveillance for quick

transmission of locust survey data, their analysis, decision making, mapping of survey areas

through computerization, adoption of new software like eLocust2/ eLocust3 and RAMSES.

IIl. Organizations of Locust Control Campaign

9. National Institute of Plant Health Management (NIPHM)

9a. Introduction:

The Central Plant Protection Institute (CPPTI) was established in 1966 for human resource

development in plant protection technology under the Directorate of Plant Protection, to

create qualified pest management personnel in adequate numbers both in the Central

Government and in the Departments of Agriculture of States/Union Territories (UTs), and

impart training to farmers. The Institute, which was rechristened subsequently as National

Plant Protection Training Institute (NPPTI), was entrusted with the responsibility of

organizing both long and short duration training courses for Human Resource Development

on different aspects of Plant Protection. NPPTI was one of the components of the ongoing

scheme, “Strengthening and Modernization of Pest Management Approach in the Country”.

The Union Cabinet on 25th July 2008 gave its approval for converting National Plant

Protection Training Institute (NPPTI), Hyderabad into an autonomous agency namely

National Institute of Plant Health Management (NIPHM) by registering it under the

Registration of Societies Act, 1860, which will enable autonomy in functioning and effective

capacity building in the sector.

One of the mandate entrusted to NIPHM is to function as a policy support center in all

sanitary and phytosanitary (SPS) matters, and create adequate capacity, both in public and

private sectors, to meet the growing challenges of non-tariff barriers in the form of SPS

issues. NIPHM is also expected to play an important role in protecting the country's agro-

ecosystems from alien pests and diseases. Consequently, the Department of Agriculture &

Cooperation of the Ministry of Agriculture, Govt. of India issued necessary orders for

transforming this Institute into an autonomous body vide resolution F. No. 20-62/2007-PP I

dated 13th October, 2008. As envisaged therein, National Plant Protection Training Institute

(NPPTI) was reconstituted into an autonomous body, viz, National Institute of Plant Health

Management (NIPHM) and registered (No.1444 of 2008) under the Andhra Pradesh Societies

Registration Act, 2001 (Act No.35 of 2001). The Society came into being with effect from

24th October, 2008 and functions under the control of the Department of Agriculture &

Cooperation of the Ministry of Agriculture, Govt. of India.

In order to promote sustainable agriculture through Human Resource Development in the

agriculture sector, NIPHM Is organizing different programmes to build the capacity of

agriculture extension officers of Central / State Governments, Scientists of ICAR institutions

and State Agricultural Universities on various aspects of Plant Health Management to

promote sustainable agriculture. The major programmes are Agro ecosystem Analysis

(AESA) based Plant Health Management in conjunction with Ecological Engineering (EE)

for Pest Management through Farmer Field Schools (FFS), Production Protocols for bio

control agents and microbial bio pesticides to promote bio intensive strategies and reduce the

61

reliance on chemical pesticides. Programmes are also offered in Biosecurity and Incursion

Management along with special programmes to build capacity for sanitary and phytosanitary

(SPS) compliance. Specialized and mandatory programs are offered in Pesticide Management

Division for pesticide analysts, inspectors on Pesticide formulation analysis, inspection and

sampling, quality management systems, for scientists and analysts on pesticide residue

analysis, and quality management systems. Special programs are also offered in Vertebrate

Pest Management and Pesticide Application Technology. NIPHM also organized educational

programmes to benefit both fresh graduates and in-service candidates.

In spite of rapid strides made by our country in achieving self-sufficiency in agriculture

production, significant yield losses persist due to unscientific agricultural practices. The

management of crop losses is increasingly getting complicated due to excessive reliance on

agrochemicals, which is impacting food safety and competitiveness of Indian agriculture in

gaining market access to the agriculture commodities. In order to mitigate these problems

NIPHM has been mandated to build the capacity of Agriculture Extension Officers of Central

and State Governments, Scientists of ICAR & SAUs to promote sustainable agriculture.

The capacity building programmes offered by NIPHM equip the master trainers in skills for

adoption of Agro ecosystem analysis based Plant Health Management in conjunction with

Ecological Engineering for Pest Management, On-farm production of Biocontrol agents &

Microbial Bio pesticides, Rodent Pest Management, Biosecurity and Incursion Management,

sanitary and phytosanitary (SPS) compliance, Phytosanitary Treatments, Pesticide Residue

Analysis for food safety, Pesticide Formulation Analysis for testing the quality of pesticides

as per provisions of Insecticide Act, 1968 and quality management systems for accreditation

of testing labs as per ISO/IEC 17025:2005.

Besides organizing capacity building programmes to promote bio intensive approaches to

minimize usage of chemical pesticides, NIPHM also organizes capacity building programmes

in the specialized area of Appropriate Pesticide Application techniques to promote safe and

judicious use of chemical pesticides, if and when required.Pesticide Formulation and Residue

Analytical Centre (PFRAC) of Pesticide Management Division is ISO/IEC 17025:2005

accredited laboratory of testing of samples for pesticide residues in foods, chemical pesticides

in bio-pesticides, pesticide quality analysis, and analyzing > 5000 samples. The laboratory is

a gazette notified laboratory for testing bio-pesticides for presence of chemical pesticides,

and samples received from insecticide inspectors across India are analyzed. The Proficiency

Testing Centre (PTC) of Pesticide Management Division is the first organization in India

accredited as PT provider as per ISO/IEC 17043:2010 in the field of pesticide formulation

and residue analysis. The division conducts special PT schemes for PTLs across India for

evaluation of their testing capabilities.The pool of master trainers created by NIPHM, in turn;

train the lower level agriculture functionaries and farmers. However, in respect of certain

specialized areas, NIPHM also trains the progressive farmers directly. In addition to the

capacity building programmes specifically meant for government functionaries, NIPHM also

undertakes capacity building programmes to benefit the agriculture extension functionaries of

civil societies, private sector and public sector organizations.

62

In order to strengthen the capacity building of Agriculture Extension Functionaries in South

Asian region and other developing countries, NIPHM organizes International training

programmes to promote sustainable agriculture practices, to protect the native agriculture

biosecurity and also strengthen sanitary and phytosanitary (SPS) capacity to promote exports

and regulate imports.

The capacity building programs in different areas are offered by NIPHM through on campus

programmes at Hyderabad as well as off campus programmes in India and foreign countries

by the following technical divisions:

• Plant Health Management

• Vertebrate Pest Management

• Plant Health Engineering

• Plant Biosecurity

• Pesticide Management

9b. Aims and objectives:

Human Resource development, both in public and private sector, covering areas inter

alia, of plant protection technology, plant quarantine and bio-security, crop oriented

Integrated Pest Management approaches, quality testing of pesticides and monitoring of

pesticide residues for monitoring the quality status of pesticides.

a) Develop systematic linkages between state, regional, national and international

institutions of outstanding accomplishments in the field of plant protection

technology.

b) Function as a nodal agency/forum for exchange of latest information on plant

protection technology.

c) Collect and collate information on plant protection technology for dissemination

among the state extension functionaries and farmers.

d) Gain overall insight into plant protection systems and policies together with

operational problems and constraints at each step and stage.

e) Identify, appreciate and develop modern management tools, techniques in problem-

solving approaches and utilizing the mechanism of personnel management, resource

management, input management and finally conflict management at the

organizational level.

f) Develop need-based field programmes for training and retraining of senior and middle

level functionaries for executing plant protection programmes and using training of

trainer approaches to ensure maximum reach of programmes.

63

g) Provide feedback to training programmes, conduct programme-oriented research in

the area of plant protection, Integrated Pest Management, pesticide management,

plant quarantine and pesticide delivery systems and residues.

h) Serve as repository of ideas and develop communication and documentation services

at national, regional and international level, in regard to the subject of plant protection

management.

i) Forge linkages with national and international institutions and create networks of

knowledge sharing through a programme of institutional collaboration and

employment of consultants.

j) Provide policy support to the Central Government in various sectors of plant

protection including IPM, pesticide management, plant quarantine, bio-security, SPS

and market access issues.

9c. Mission / Functions of NIPHM:

The mission of the NIPHM is to assist the States and the Government of India in

increasing the efficiency of the existing pest and disease surveillance and control system,

certification and accreditation systems through a core role as a training and adaptive research

centre in the field of extension and policy developments related to plant protection. NIPHM

provides its services to organizations in both the public and private sector.

In addition to traditional training programmes, NIPHM would also undertake projects,

capacity building and studies in the plant health and quarantine area, including assessing

market access potential, and other aspects related to the SPS agreement.

Another key factor will be to develop an international role as a leading centre for

plant protection and quarantine capacity building within the region for building capacity in

neighbouring countries. In the regional role, the Institute would focus on training of trainers

rather than undertake large volume training programmes for students from other countries

within the region. It is likely that such approaches would attract international/inter-

governmental organizations which are aiming to foster enhanced biosecurity within the

region.
