Lutte antiparasitaire
Les insectes et autres ravageurs peuvent constituer un obstacle majeur à la production alimentaire, surtout lorsque les ressources pour la lutte contre les ravageurs sont rares. Par exemple, dans Tuta EDN 133, nous avons répondu à une question sur les problèmes des mineuses des feuilles de la tomate ( ( absoluta) au Nigeria. De fortes infestations de ce ravageur à lui seul peuvent réduire les rendements de 80 à 100 % (Gebremariam, 2015). Les ressources suivantes tendent à renforcer davantage nos sources d'information sur la gestion et le suivi des ravageurs.
