Muni Muniappan, Director of the IPM IL, has collaborated with B. Merle Shepard to write a chapter for a book that is soon to be launched. The book, IPM in Vegetables by Madonna C. Casimero and Peter A. C. Ooi, covers the key elements of food, people, and knowledge, and contains resource material for extension workers to work effectively with farmers on integrated pest management and rice-based cropping systems, covering insects, weeds, and plant diseases. It represents the first time in Asia that all three aspects of IPM are covered in one book.
The chapter contributed by Dr. Muniappan and Dr. Shepard is about IPM in Southeast Asia.
