| Résumé : |
Grain sorghum production in USA will not escape the consequences of the current public and political sensitivity to environmental and human –health issues. The sustainable agriculture agenda also is an issue relevant to sorghum production in less developed countries. Insecticide-based integrated pest management strategies are being forced to change to biological/ecological-based strategies, implying that technology is available to US agriculture to manage insect pests without chemical insecticides and still maintain crop production at levels that allow abundant supplies of cheap food, fiber and other agricultural products. The parallel implication is that this approach will ensure adequate levels of food in lesser developed countries. An important issue is wether nonchemical sorghum insect management technology is currently available and if the time is right for cultural as well as biological insect pest management tactics to be exploited.
In this paper, insect management tactics including crop rotation, insect-resistant plants, crop refuse destruction, tillage, sowing and harvesting time, plant spacing, fertilizer and water management and trap crops as well as biological control, are assessed to define their level of use, value and potential to reduce insect-induced stress in sorghum.
