Experiences with Implementation and Adoption of Integrated Pest Management in China

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Integrated Pest Management

Abstract

China has over 30 years of experiences with the implementation and adoption of integrated pest management. Ample evidence in China confirms that integrated pest management can decrease pesticide use without lowering crop yields, improve farmers’ income, and protect the environment. This chapter provides a glimpse of the history, international and national programs, and the other efforts undertaken in the implementation of integrated pest management towards achieving agricultural sustainability in China. Different extension approaches used in the implementation of integrated pest management are compared and analyzed, integrated pest management impact assessment programs and their main outcomes are described, and comments on current issues and future challenges in the adoption of integrated pest management in China are put forward.

Notes

  1. 1.

    In Chinese system, all the occurring acreages of all the generations of insect pests in the whole season are expressed as hectare times because the occurrences of insect pests might have more than one generation in the season.

  2. 2.

    This expression is commonly used in China, to contrast the economy before the economic reform in China.
