Hạt điều là một cây trồng rất quan trọng tại Việt Nam, và chính phủ đã được chỉ định điều phát triển như là một ưu tiên quốc gia. Năng suất hạt điều đã tăng lên kể từ năm 2002, nhưng sử dụng rộng rãi thuốc trừ sâu đã gây ra vấn đề sức khỏe nông dân, động vật và môi trường. Các chương trình điều IPM sử dụng kiến vàng như là một yếu tố quan trọng phát triển tại Charles Darwin University (CDU) không liên quan đến thuốc trừ sâu độc hại cao, nhưng kết quả cao năng suất và chất lượng hạt....

  1. Collaboration for Agriculture and Rural Development (CARD) Program INTEGRATED PEST MANAGEMENT USING WEAVER ANTS AS A MAJOR COMPONENT FOR CASHEW Project title: Implementation of the IPM program using weaver ants as a major component for cashew growers in Vietnam Project code: CARD 029/05/VIE Author(s): Prof. Keith Christian1, Dr. Renkang Peng1, La Pham Lan2 and Nguyen Thanh Binh2 Project Implementing organisations: 1 Charles Darwin University, Australia 2 Institute of Agricultural Science of South Vietnam SUMMARY Cashew is a very important crop in Vietnam, and the government has designated cashew development as a national priority. Productivity of cashew has increased since 2002, but the extensive use of pesticides has caused health problems to farmers, their animals and the environment. The cashew IPM programs using weaver ants as a key element developed at Charles Darwin University (CDU) do not involve high toxic insecticides, but result in high yield and nut quality. This project is to use the CDU cashew IPMs to develop and implement an integrated cashew improvement (ICI) program that will work under Vietnamese conditions. An ICI manual and an ICI photo book that work in Vietnam have been developed at 500 and 3000 copies, respectively, and used in the TOT and FFS training, and the positive comments on the materials are received. The project has produced 113 competitive TOT trainers, who have successfully conducted 98 FFSs, resulting in 2,448 knowledgeable farmers. Demonstration orchards produced 13% more net profit in the ICI plot than in the farmers’ plot. Over 95% of farmers were pleased with the FFS training contents, methods and the results of demonstration orchards. The project has produced benefits for small-holders and aspects of capacity building, and improved farm environment, farm health and crop sustainability. There is a high demand of FFS training by local cashew growers. 176
  2. Keith Christian, Renkang Peng, La Pham Lan & Nguyen Thanh Binh on cashew orchards in Australia and Africa, 1. Introduction this project was proposed with the aim of Cashew (Anacardium occidentale) is an increasing cashew yield and improving nut important crop in Vietnam, and the quality. Specific objectives are (1) to conduct government has designated cashew TOT training in cashew IPM for TOT trainers development as a national priority. The area to conduct FFSs in their local region, (2) to growing cashew is about 430000 ha located in develop an IPM cashew curriculum and a Central Highlands, South Central Coast and series of illustrative posters based on the South East region. Cashew is planted mainly in cashew IPM programs developed in Australia inverse soils that are low in fertility and with that will work in Vietnamese conditions and low precipitation. For years, cashew plants (3) to assess the effectiveness of the FFS were considered as a forestry plant so that the model in increasing farmer knowledge and growers did not consider any intensive reducing pesticide use in cashew production. techniques such as fertilization or plant 2.

A total of 38 experts because of serious damage from insect pests who are involved in Vietnam cashew and inadequate farm management. Insect pests production were invited, they came from plant of cashew plants has identified that protection departments, research institutions, lepidopterans and hemipterans are universities, non-government organizations, predominant (An, 2003; Lan et al., 2002). agricultural services and rural departments, an Generally the use of insecticides is a common insecticide company and media corporations. practice by farmers to control insect pests.

To achieve One TOT was held at the sub-PPD of Binh high yields most growers rely heavily on Phuoc province, and the other at the Hung Loc insecticides, resulting in increased costs, pest Agricultural Research Center belonging to IAS resistance, environmental pollution and the located in Dong Nai province.

Because of insecticides is not new but has potential as a cashew trees are perennial, the period from control measure. In the Mekong Delta the flowering to harvesting is more important than application of weaver ants can control insect other periods. The TOT courses ran from pests in citrus orchards and also give fruit with flowering to harvest. At each site, one few blemishes. The use of weaver ants as a demonstration cashew orchard was established biological control agent of insect pests is to enable trainees to practice. Each common in the Mekong Delta (Barzman et al., demonstration orchard is 1.2 ha, divided into 1999). Scientists from Charles Darwin two treatments. One treatment was managed University found that an IPM program that by the orchard owner with his current farming used weaver ants as a key element had been practices including insecticide sprays. The successfully used by cashew growers in other was managed by the IPM program. The Australia, Papua New Guinea and two TOTs of 1st year have been completed, the Mozambique (Peng and Duncan, 1999; Peng, two TOT of the 2nd year are currently running. 2000, 2001, 2002; Peng et al., 1999, 2004). A total of 120 cashew IPM trainers will be available at the end of the project. Based on the successful examples on citrus orchards in the Mekong Delta (Vietnam) and 177
