Optimizing Pesticide Application for Sustainable Agriculture CABI's Crop Sprayer App is a digital tool designed to assist agricultural advisors, NGOs, and development agencies in promoting efficient and safe pesticide use among smallholder farmers. By calculating precise pesticide quantities, the app supports Integrated Pest Management (IPM) strategies, contributing to sustainable agricultural practices.
Natural Allies for Mango Mealybug Control This technology provides an effective, cost-efficient intervention to protect mango value chains in Africa. The release and establishment of two parasitoid species—Gyranusoidea tebygi and Anagyrus mangicola—has shown a dramatic impact in reducing mango mealybug populations, leading to increased yields and farm income. With research costs already covered, the expansion to new countries requires only modest investments in rearing and monitoring. This intervention aligns with sustainable agriculture goals, reduces pesticide use, and strengthens the resilience of smallholder farming systems.
Enhancing Cassava Resilience: Targeted Biocontrol with a Beneficial Wasp Biological control of the cassava mealybug (CM) involves introducing natural enemies, such as the parasitoid wasp Anagyrus lopezi, to manage CM populations without chemical pesticides. This method has been successfully implemented in over 20 countries, reducing mealybug populations by about 90% and protecting cassava crops, thereby saving farmers significant amounts of money.
Reduce pesticide and herbicide losses with IITA's herbicide calculator Widespread abuse of pesticides (including herbicides) is common due to poorly calibrated spray tanks. Farmers overdose or underdose when applying pesticides. The IITA Herbicide Calculator helps farmers and spray service providers to correctly estimate the amount of herbicide to add to backpack sprayers, and promotes herbicide efficacy.
