Sustainable Management of Invasive Cassava Pests in Vietnam, Cambodia, and Thailand

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Crop Production under Stressful Conditions

Abstract

Cassava is an important crop, in which root tubers have been known as a staple food in tropical area. Recently, cassava tubers are processed by various methods into numerous products and utilized in various ways. The land area of cassava cultivation has been increasing especially in Southeast Asia. Such a situation is causing an introduction of new cassava diseases and insect pests in the region. In the main part of this chapter, we reviewed the current cassava situation in Vietnam, Cambodia, and Thailand and then illustrated the major cassava diseases and insect pests and their management methods. In addition, we described the international activities developing the cassava agriculture to date, the existing agricultural extension system, and the socioeconomic situation of cassava farmers. Since 2016, we have been conducting SATREPS project to establish a management of invasive cassava diseases and insect pests. At last part chapter, we showed our approach to establish the sustainable agriculture of cassava.
