AESA based IPM emphasizes on plant compensation ability, abiotic factors and Pest: Defender (P:D) ratio. Through FFS (Farmer Field School) participants observe and monitor all elements of the agro-ecosystem on farm and learn how to make management decisions in order to minimize the effects of adverse climate change. In order to assess this aspect the study was conducted in Haryana state during 2019 to assess the farmers‟ adoption status of technology through the Agro-Eco System Analysis (AESA) based IPM strategy for sustainable agriculture with special focus on pest-defender dynamics, characteristic abilities of plant to compensate for the damages caused by the pests and the influence of abiotic factors on pest buildup in changing climate scenario. |
