Summary: Norwegian cereal farmers have a comprehensive understanding of Integrated Pest Management (IPM) and have increased their efforts in implementing IPM as a response to the Sustainable Use of Pesticides Directive (SUD). The results demonstrate that mandatory IPM requirements have successfully increased farmers' use of IPM in Norway, emphasizing the importance of clear IPM provisions and intrinsic motivation among farmers to further reduce pesticide risks.

Summary: The Farmer Field School is a season-long training program that promotes integrated pest management and agroecosystem analysis. This study found that the program has a positive impact on crop income and farmer behavior, while also reducing environmental impact from pesticide use. Thus, the Farmer Field School is a key strategy for strengthening agricultural extension services and promoting sustainable agriculture.

Summary: This study found that adoption levels of various IPM practices varied depending on factors such as farm size and farmer familiarity with IPM. Farmers who proactively sought information from impartial sources were more engaged and reported higher levels of adoption. Policies encouraging more engagement with pest management issues and proactive information seeking should be promoted.

Summary: The study revealed significant differences in pesticide use between rice and vegetable farmers in the subtropical region of Jammu and Kashmir. Rice farmers did not use insecticides and fungicides, while vegetable farmers reduced the number of pesticide applications but increased the amount of pesticide active ingredients used, mainly due to increased fungicide use. Additionally, vegetable farmers trained for a longer period reported using more pesticides compared to those trained for a shorter period.

Summary: In Finland, farmers recognize the benefits of cover crops for agricultural production and ecosystems. They believe that cover crops improve soil conditions and are an effective measure to expand agricultural production. Research needs in crop protection, sowing practices, diverse cover crops, and their impact on yield and profitability were highlighted by farmers.

Summary: This study investigates the attitudes and behavior of farmers toward the use of desalinated seawater for irrigation in South-east Spain, identifying different farmer typologies, preferences and attitudes towards desalinated water use. The study also highlights additional factors besides price that influence farmers' acceptance of desalinated seawater. Insights gained from this research could be beneficial for regions planning to construct desalination plants to increase irrigation water availability.

Summary: This study assesses the use of WhatsApp Group for participatory monitoring in a rice farming program in a rural village of Sarawak, Malaysia. The study finds that WhatsApp Group offers flexibility and methodological diversity in participatory monitoring, but there are limitations in terms of participation and negotiation due to group structure. Agricultural policies should prioritize inclusive access to ICT devices and facilities to effectively promote digital platforms. The study also suggests that social media can enhance multi-stakeholder participation, but should be complemented with non-ICT means of communication for rural farming communities.

Summary: Integrated pest management (IPM) is a safer alternative to conventional pest control, but its adoption remains low. This study finds that text messages sent over mobile phones can promote IPM adoption, especially when combined with demonstrations and training. However, there may be unintended adverse effects due to limitations in the correct interpretation of transferred information.

Summary: The paper investigates farmers' perceptions and management practices regarding fall armyworm in South Asia. The results indicate that farmers experience significant damage from fall armyworm, and its spread is increasing over time. Chemical pesticides are still the dominant tool for control. Therefore, there is a need for innovative extension approaches, such as digital technologies, and promotion of new technologies as part of integrated pest management strategies.

Summary: The invasive fruit fly Bactrocera dorsalis poses a major threat to mango production and trade in sub-Saharan Africa. While farmers primarily rely on pesticides for pest management, some also use indigenous methods. Despite good knowledge of integrated pest management strategies, uptake is relatively low.

Summary: The study explored factors influencing farmers' preferences for large or small field crop robots, showing that farm size, farming system, and occupational structure play crucial roles in evaluating the advantages and disadvantages of field crop robots. Larger farms focus more on financial benefits and prefer large autonomous tractors, while small-scale or organic farmers prioritize environmental benefits and favor small robots. Organic farmers are also more likely to consider purchasing field crop robots within the next five years.

Summary: The study in southern Punjab, Pakistan found that mango farmers were aware of and practiced management techniques for mango mealy bug, primarily using insecticides like Basudin and Supracide while also employing grease bands for control. Farmers commonly believed that irrigation water was a major source of infestation, but faced challenges such as lack of knowledge, limited funds, and inadequate pesticides supply.

Summary: This study assesses the impact of fish-rice co-culture on the sustainability of agricultural systems. It found that fish-rice co-culture can improve the sustainability of farming systems by increasing rice yield, reducing production costs, decreasing the use of inorganic fertilizers, and increasing the population of natural enemies of pests. It also gained social acceptance from farmers and local communities.
