Consortium
The
Integrated Pest Management CRSP is one of nine
collaborative research support programs, or CRSPs, set
up to leverage the expertise found at American land
grant universities in developing countries around the
world.

West Africa
This project is
developing a strong collaboration of host country
partners focused on research that is improving the
livelihoods of rural agricultural households as well as
the environments in which people live. (more)
Latin America
This program addresses
pest management issues for selected seasonal and
perennial crops. It includes heterogeneous island,
coastal, and mountainous ecosystems with highly diverse
human societies. (more)
Eastern Europe
Integrated pest
management (IPM) has faced a variety of obstacles in
recent years. Some are related to lack of economic
resources. While this is shared by many less developed
countries, it is a severe factor in many former Soviet
block countries because of the collapse of their
economies in the 1990s.

East Africa
The Regional
Integrated Pest Management Collaborative Research
Support Program (IPM/CRSP) for East Africa: Kenya,
Tanzania and Uganda will develop a shared IPM strategy
to improve the productivity of higher value marketed
horticultural crops in the region using a specialized
program that is dedicated to ecologically based IPM
research on horticultural crops.

Central Asia
The focus of the Central
Asia regional IPM program is to break the isolation of
this area and build IPM capacity through collaborative
and participatory research and training. It operates in
the countries of Uzbekistan, Tajikistan, Kyrgyzstan,
Turkmenistan, and Kazakhstan. The program is developing
a comprehensive IPM initiative, using an
ecologically-based and multidisciplinary systems
approach.

South Asia
This project builds
on previous investment by expanding efforts in
Bangladesh and India, extending and replicating the
participatory IPM approach in Nepal, strengthening the
network of linkages in IPM knowledge and expertise
across all of South Asia, and undertaking significant
and innovative graduate education.

Southeast Asia
This project
includes research activities in nine research sites in
the Philippines and Indonesia. In the Philippines,
research focuses on IPM for tomato and eggplant in
Batangas Province; strawberries in Benguet Province; and
rice/vegetable systems on Mindanao. In Indonesia,
research on vegetable IPM is centered in North Sumatra,
North Sulawesi, and West Java. Cocoa IPM is studied in
South Sulawesi, and the rice/vegetable system work is
being replicated in Lampung Province.
