Innovation Lab: IPM Host Country Regions in Phase IV (2009-2014) Six regions (Latin America and the Caribbean, West Africa, East Africa, Central Asia, South Asia, Southeast Asia) 16 countries
IPM Package for Tomato • Seed or seedling treatment with Trichoderma,
Pseudomonas fluorescens, and Bacillus subtilis • Solarization of seed beds and greenhouses • Use of VAM, neem cake and other organics • Selecting virus-resistant varieties • Grafting on resistant rootstock for bacterial wilt,
Fusarium and others • Staking and mulching • Yellow sticky traps for thrips, leafminers etc. • Pheromone traps for Helicoverpa and
Spodoptera • Host-free period and rogueing for control of
virus diseases • Use of Biopesticides such as neem • Use of microbial pesticides such as NPV,
Metarhizium, and Beauveria
Seedling Production and Selection in Nurseries in India We would like to introduce this technology in to African Countries
Trichoderma harzianum/viridae • Fungal Parasite • Antibiotic producer • Improved water and
nutrient uptake • Induced Systemic
Resistance Inducer
• Eggplant yield ↑ 249% in Bangladesh
