Báo cáo nghiên cứu nông nghiệp Management of Phytophthora Diseases in Vietnamese Horticulture 1

Lack of knowledge and understanding at the scientific, extension and farmer levels is the primary limitation to the effective management of Phytophthora diseases in Vietnam. The objectives of this project are to extend sustainable and effective disease control and management recommendations to a range of horticultural crops throughout Vietnam to reduce crop losses due to Phytophthora and to improve farmer incomes. Throughout the project, Vietnamese scientific and extension staff have developed and disseminated disease management information through extension and farmer training schools, participatory research, brochures, posters and technical notes. Extension tools and baseline surveys provided by the Vietnamese partners to...

Project Abstract Lack of knowledge and understanding at the scientific, extension and farmer levels is the primary limitation to the effective management of Phytophthora diseases in Vietnam. The objectives of this project are to extend sustainable and effective disease control and management recommendations to a range of horticultural crops throughout Vietnam to reduce crop losses due to Phytophthora and to improve farmer incomes. Throughout the project, Vietnamese scientific and extension staff have developed and disseminated disease management information through extension and farmer training schools, participatory research, brochures, posters and technical notes. Extension tools and baseline surveys provided by the Vietnamese partners to the Australian partners are hereby submitted to meet the targets of Milestone 6.3. IssueDiseases caused by Phytophthora pathogens affect a wide range of fruit and vegetable cropsin Vietnam, resulting in yield losses of up to 70%, with consequent economic losses. Manyof the diseases can be managed effectively through improved farm management. Effectivedisease management is limited through a lack of knowledge and understanding ofPhytophthora diseases at the scientific, extension and farmer levels. This project aims toimprove smallholder productivity by improving the skills of relevant scientific andextension staff and their capacity to implement disease management options amongfarmers.4. What has been doneDetails of how the project objectives have been met are presented in the log frame table inAppendix I.Following the initial scientific training workshops held in 2005, the Vietnamese scientificand extension staff have run extension training workshops and on-farm trials to develop andextend integrated disease management recommendations to farmers. This report includesextension materials that have been developed by some of the Vietnamese partners as part ofthis project.4.1. ...
