Mwongozo wa wadudu na magonjwa ya mazao
- Summary:
Mwongozo huu una lengo la kutoa habari wazi zinazowezesha kuchukua hatua juu ya wadudu na magonjwa muhimu zaidi yanayoathiri mazao muhimu ya chakula yanayokuzwa na wakulima wadogo barani Afrika.
Kwa kila mdudu au ugonjwa, maelezo yanatolewa ya jinsi ya kutambua tatizo, nini cha kufanya ili kuzuia kutokea na jinsi ya kudhibiti wakati linapotokea. Chaguzi za usimamizi wa kila mdudu au ugonjwa zimegawanywa katika ‘mbinu za kitamaduni’, kama vile matumizi ya aina sugu, mbegu safi, kilimo cha mzunguko na hali nzuri ya usafi shambani, na ‘mbinu za kikemikali’, ambazo huhusisha matumizi ya dawa sahihi za kuua wadudu. Aidha maelezo yanatolewa juu ya viumbe vinavyosababisha tatizo na madhara yake. Hatimaye, orodha fupi ya machapisho na tovuti inatolewa ambapo maelezo ya ziada yanaweza kupatikana.
Timu ya wataalam wa afya ya mimea wamekusanya maelezo haya; kwa kufanya hivyo wametumia utafiti na taarifa za hivi karibuni zinazopatikana mwaka wa 2015. Mazao yaliyoangaziwa ni: nafaka (mahindi, mawele, mtama, mpunga), mikunde (njugu, maharagwe na kunde) mazao ya mizizi (mihogo, viazi vitamu, viazi vikuu) na migomba.
