Abstract

An ecological approach to managing rice pests would improve the agricultural ecosystem, prevent pest outbreaks and contribute to sustainable crop production intensification in Cambodia. This report provides a survey of pest management strategies and focuses on integrated pest management (IPM). IPM involves preparation, prevention, monitoring and analysis, and evaluation. The paper expands on these steps along with recommendations to government ministries, including regulation of pesticides and agricultural extension services for IPM.
