Biological Papaya Pest Control in West

01.11.2012 - 31.10.2017

Papaya and other fruit production represent an important source of income and part of the daily diet for millions of family farms across West and Central Africa. Different fruit species are threatened by the recent introduction of an exotic mealybug, which reduces fruit production by up to 90%. The project supports a biological pest control project of the International Institute for Tropical Agriculture to release a parasitic wasp, which is known to dramatically reduce mealybug infection rates, thus reducing harvest losses permanently.

El agua del Nilo, un tesoro que hay que gestionar

01.11.2012 - 31.07.2017

Si bien la población egipcia no cesa de aumentar, el volumen de agua del Nilo permanece estable. Es, pues, imperativo utilizar el agua de manera económica.

El proyecto da lugar a una mejor producción de las tierras y a mayores ingresos para los agricultores concernidos.
