Why Work in Central Asia Region?

• The region was isolated for many decades
• Currently there is no regional IPM program
  CGIAR presence in the region
• No formal extension system NGOs play a major
  role
• Less diverse cropping systems, with cotton and
  wheat are the major crops
• Many issues related to agricultural practices
  such as overuse and misuse of pesticides
• Language barrier

  (e.g., governments, universities, NGOs, etc.) for
  promoting ecologically-based IPM research and
  outreach.
