Rice is the staple food crop of Bangladesh. During the last four decades rice production has been transformed from a low input, traditional system to an intensive, high- yielding system relying on high inputs which has strongly influenced the incidence and abundance of rice pests. At the same time and during the same period, great strides were made in our understanding of the ecology of pests and therefore their management. We moved from a dependence on pesticides to an ecological approach based on the principles of integrated pest management (IPM). However, this radical change in strategy, so vital for pest management research, education and extension, has never before been compiled in a single volume for Bangladesh. In a nutshell the book:

David Catling

David Catling has a Diploma of Agriculture and B.Sc. from Stellenbosch University, and M.Sc and Ph.D. degrees from Potchefstroom University, South Africa. He started out as a farmer, then became a field assistant before qualifying as an entomologist. His first research was on citrus pests in South Africa and Swaziland, where he introduced an integrated pest management system for citrus farmers. In 1972, he was appointed by FAO to introduce the concept of integrated pest management (1PM) into South Korea’s Department of Agriculture. In 1974 he became the IRRI Team Leader/Entomologist working closely with BRRI, and went on to lead BRRI’s research project on deepwater rice, thus staying in Bangladesh for seven years. During this period his main interest was the study of insect pest ecology, 1PM and assessing crop losses in the field. Returning to South Africa in 1991 he founded and led the Land Development Unit at the University of the Western Cape, which supported previously marginalized small- scale farmers. The work of this NGO was described in his book An Elusive Harvest published in 2008. He also authored a textbook titled Rice in Deep Water.

He worked for BRRI for 24 years and then spent six years at the International Rice Research Institute (IRRI). At IRRI he developed an 1PM training course which was later offered in eight Asian countries.
