Giáo trình Phòng trừ dịch hại (Nghề: Trồng trọt và bảo vệ thực vật - Trình độ: Trung cấp) - Trường Cao đẳng Nông nghiệp Thanh Hóa

Global agricultural production consistently faces significant challenges from various crop pests, including insects, diseases, and weeds. These threats not only cause substantial yield and quality losses, escalating production costs, but also jeopardize food security worldwide. Historically, the heavy reliance on chemical pesticides has led to severe environmental contamination, reduced biodiversity, increased pest resistance, and posed health risks to humans. In response to these pressing issues, Integrated Pest Management (IPM) has emerged as a crucial, effective, and sustainable strategy. This academic text serves to introduce the principles and practical applications of IPM, offering a holistic approach to managing pests while minimizing adverse impacts on the ecosystem and human health.

This comprehensive textbook, 'Phòng Trừ Dịch Hại,' provides a foundational and practical guide to understanding and implementing Integrated Pest Management (IPM) in agricultural production. It thoroughly covers the scientific basis of IPM, commencing with an exploration of various crop pests—ranging from insects and diseases to weeds—and their substantial economic and ecological impacts. The text elucidates the detrimental effects of conventional chemical pesticide overuse, such as environmental pollution, biodiversity loss, and increased pest resistance, thereby underscoring the critical need for sustainable alternatives. The curriculum is structured to present a holistic array of IPM strategies. Key methodologies detailed include advanced technical cultivation practices (e.g., optimal soil preparation, crop rotation, balanced nutrient management), biological control employing natural enemies, the cultivation and selection of pest-resistant crop varieties, the judicious and principle-based use of chemical control, and effective physical-mechanical interventions. Furthermore, the textbook offers dedicated sections on applying these IPM principles to specific major crops, including rice, industrial crops, fruit trees, and various vegetables, enabling learners to analyze diverse pest situations and formulate tailored management plans. The overarching aim is to equip intermediate-level students in Crop Production and Plant Protection with the essential knowledge and practical competencies. By fostering scientific thinking and hands-on skills in integrated pest management, this resource aspires to enhance crop yields, ensure agricultural product quality and safety, minimize ecological footprints, and ultimately contribute to the development of a more resilient, efficient, and environmentally friendly agricultural sector, particularly in the Vietnamese context.
