Abstract

This paper reviews major concepts and achievements made in the tropics in tackling; five major social and economic issues associated with research, development and adoption of integrated pest management technologies during the past two decades. Major focus has been placed on (i) integrating IPM into farming systems, (ii) monitoring pest populations, (iii) information and management intensity of IPM, (iv) economic viability of IPM, and (v) institutional factors affecting IPM. Emphasis is placed on pinpointing ways in which success can be achieved and how constraints can be overcome in order to make IPM work better in future.

Résumé

Cet article constitue une revue des réalisations sous les tropiques dans la résolution de cinq probièmes socio-économiques majeurs en relation avec la recherche, le développement et l'adoption des technologies intégrées pour lutter contre les pestes, durant ces deux dernières décennies. Les points majeurs ciblés sont: (i) intégration des IPM dans les systèmes culturaux, (ii) surveillance des populations des insectes ravageurs, (iii) information la gestion des IPM, (iv) viabilité économique des IPM, et (v) facteurs institutionnels affectant les IPM. L'accent est mis sur les voies du succès et les moyens de contourner les contraintes en vue d'améliorer les IPM dans l'avenir.
