Wheat is an important food security crop in central Asia but frequently suffers severe damage and yield losses from insect pests, pathogens, and weeds. With funding from the United States Agency for International Development, a team of scientists from three U.S. land-grant universities in collaboration with the International Center for Agricultural Research in Dry Areas and local institutions implemented an integrated pest management (IPM) demonstration program in three regions of Tajikistan from 2011 to 2014. An IPM package was developed and demonstrated in farmer fields using a combination of crop and pest management techniques including cultural practices, host plant resistance, biological control, and chemical approaches. The results from four years of demonstration/research indicated that the IPM package plots almost universally had lower pest abundance and damage and higher yields and were more profitable than the farmer practice plots. Wheat stripe rust infestation ranged from 30% to over 80% in farmer practice plots, while generally remaining below 10% in the IPM package plots. Overall yield varied among sites and years but was always at least 30% to as much as 69% greater in IPM package plots. More than 1,500 local farmers—40% women—were trained through farmer field schools and field days held at the IPM demonstration sites. In addition, students from local agricultural universities participated in on-site data collection. The IPM information generated by the project was widely disseminated to stakeholders through peer-reviewed scientific publications, bulletins and pamphlets in local languages, and via Tajik national television.

塔吉克斯坦小麦病虫害综合防治计划示范

小麦是中亚重要的粮食安全作物，但经常遭受虫害、病原体和杂草的严重破坏和产量损失。在美国国际开发署的资助下，来自美国三所赠地大学的科学家团队与国际干旱地区农业研究中心和当地机构合作，在三个地区实施了综合虫害管理 (IPM) 示范计划塔吉克斯坦 2011 年至 2014 年。使用作物和病虫害管理技术（包括栽培实践、寄主植物抗性、生物控制和化学方法）的组合在农田中开发并展示了 IPM 包。四年的示范/研究结果表明，IPM 包装地块几乎普遍具有更低的害虫丰度和损害和更高的产量，并且比农民实践地块更有利可图。农民实践地块中小麦条锈病的侵染率从 30% 到 80% 以上不等，而在 IPM 包装地块中通常保持在 10% 以下。总产量因地点和年份而异，但在 IPM 封装图中总是至少高出 30% 到 69%。超过 1,500 名当地农民（40% 是女性）通过农民田间学校和在 IPM 示范点举办的田间活动日接受了培训。此外，当地农业大学的学生也参与了现场数据收集。该项目产生的 IPM 信息通过同行评审的科学出版物广泛传播给利益相关者，
