Description Chickpea is a traditional crop, and is an important component in the daily diet of
the Nepalese. It is one of the major grain legume crops grown as a sole or mixed
crop in the rice- and maize-based cropping systems in Nepal. Area under chickpea
has shown a decreasing trend for the last two decades, as a result of increasing
incidence of diseases (botrytis gray mold) and insects (pod borer). Additionally
abiotic constraints have also been identified, causing low and unstable yields at the
national level. Consequences of decreased chickpea cultivation in Nepal include
reduced opportunities for ameliorative effects of legumes on cropping system and
sustainability, and decreased local accessibility of chickpea as a nutritious dietary
component, particularly for poor sections of the community.
Scientists from Nepal Agricultural Research Council (NARC), International
Crops Research Institute for the Semi-Arid Tropics (ICRISAT), Natural Resources
Institute (NRI), non-governmental organizations, and farmers (women and men)
participated in the meeting. The present status of various components of on-farm
integrated pest management (IPM) in Nepal were discussed and accounts of
current research on IPM in different institutions were presented. Good progress has
been made and prospects of continued collaborative research and development on
IPM are encouraging. Site specific work plans and role of partners with the funding
for the period of three years (2000-03) from the Crop Protection Programme (CPP)
of the Department for International Development (DFID), UK were finalized. High
priority was given to participatory on-farm validation and scale-up of the available
components of IPM of botrytis gray mold and pod borer and their integration with
other improved agronomical practices for sustainable chickpea production in
Nepal.
