Agro-Eco System Analysis (AESA) Based Plant Health Management

Decision making and farmers participation in adoption of Integrated Pest Management (IPM) is a crucial tool. Agro Ecosystem Analysis (AESA) is an approach, which can be employed by extension functionaries and farmers to analyze the field situations and monitor the population of pests, defenders, soil conditions, plant health and the influence of climatic factors to make informed decisions for growing a healthy crop. Thus IPM is acting as an interdisciplinary approach, that starts from monitoring to decision making for a successful outcome.
