| Résumé : |
Pesticides continue to be a significant and growing component of modern rice technology and its relative importance has increased despite the availability of alternatives to exclusive chemical pest control such as varietal resistance and integrated pest management (IPM) . This chapter provides an overview of a multidsciplinary scientific effort to identify the incidence and magnitude of on-site and off-site environmental effects of pesticide use. The main idea of this study is that the negative human health impact of pesticides is large and overwhelms their impact on the paddy ecosystem and the environment. Somewhere pesticide use is small in terms of dosages and number of applications and the chemicals used degrade in tropical flooded conditions than in the temperate upland conditions. At the end, this study envisions high rates of return to research on nonchemical pest control methods such as varietal resistance to pest that can be embodied in seeds or the use of enemies and other biological controls. |
