This document summarizes integrated pest management activities on farms in Iraq. It describes evaluations of varieties of chickpeas for resistance to diseases and evaluations of biocontrol agents for managing diseases in chickpeas. It also details on-farm evaluations of botanical and biological pesticides for controlling pests of date palms like Dubas bug and Lesser Date Moth. The evaluations found that botanical insecticides and biocontrol agents provided effective alternative control and increased yields of chickpeas and dates. Training was also provided to farmers to adopt integrated pest management practices.

A pot experiment was conducted to evaluate the nematicidal efficacy of a biocontrol agent, Pseudomonas flourescens for the management of root-knot nematode, Meloidogyneincognita on chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.) cv.‘Avarodhi’ under glasshouse conditions. All the treatments were found to significantly improve the growth and physiological parameters of chickpea and reduction in pathological parameters as compare to untreated inoculated control. The highest improvement was observed in those plants treated with P. flourescens alone. Concomitant and sequential inoculation of P. flourescens with M.incognita also showed significant improvement in growth parameters of chickpea. Least enhancement in growth parameters was observed in those plants inoculated with nematode alone. It may be due to the nematcidal behaviour of P. flourescens against root-knot nematode, M. incognita. Hence, it may be concluded that P. flourescens as biocontrol agent is better substitute against chemical nematicides for the sustainable management of M. incognita and reduce environmental hazards.

Eco-friendly Management of fruit fly in Bitter Gourd at Baitadi.pptxSabinKaphle
In this pptx, there is about influence of different control method of fruit fly in bitter gourd and from this research we conclude that the Bt can also control the fruit fly without chemical with greater effectiveness.
Liquid organic fertilizers: Nutrient rich material is soaked in water for several days or weeks to undergo fermentation. Frequent stirring encourages microbial activity in liquid manures. The resulting liquid can either be used as a foliar fertilizer or applied to the soil.
I have described here that work which I have done in 3-months at a Pakistan Government Institution Entomological Research Institute that is under Ayub Agriculture Research Institution, Faisalabad.
BPH, Nilaparvata lugens (Stal.) is one of most economic pest of rice causing up to 50 per cent or more losses in paddy crop.
The Brown plant hopper (Hemiptera: Delphaciedae ) is the monophagus, small or tiny insect with 2.0 to 3.5 mm body length & brownish in colour.
Effect of different growth regulators on the growth and yield of oyster mushroomSamar Biswas
The Greek word “Mykes” and Latin word “Fungus” mean mushroom. In a broad sense, mushrooms are fungi, but 6 all fungi are not necessarily considered as mushrooms. The mushroom is simply a fleshy, spore bearing organ of the fungi, and it belongs to either the class Ascomycetes or Basidiomycetes. The vegetative parts of the mushrooms mainly consist of thread like long thin mycelium which under suitable condition forms fruiting bodies or sporocarps. This sporocarp is called mushroom. They are very unlike green plants because they lack chlorophyll and therefore depend on the preformed food for their nutrition (Song, 2004).
Mushrooms production in Bangladesh started in 1979 at Sobhanbag Horticulture Centre, Savar, Dhaka with the technical assistance of Japan and one spawn laboratory and training facility was established to promote mushroom production at that time. Initially paddy straw mushroom was successfully grown. This variety could not be established due to low yield and short shelf life and was shortly replaced by Oyster mushroom.
ABSTRACT: The Study was undertaken with an objective to develop a protocol for micropropagation of Pongamia pinnata pierre through shoot apex segments shoot of 0.5 to 1.0 cm were collected and used as a explant. The treatment of 1.0 NaOCl (Sodium hypochloride) (W/v) solution 1 minute to 10 minute time duration. These treated explant washed trice with double distilled water and cultured in MS (Murashige and skoog) medium. In this experiment auxin 2, 4-D, NAA and cytokinin BAP, Kinetin were used for optimization of maximum callus induction.
Shoot apex explant culturing callus induction maximum callus is produced when MS medium with 3.0 mg/l, 2, 4-D and BAP 0.5 mg/l, the optimized physical condition has to be maintain throughout the experiment. In this study about 30 to 35% mature sotmatic embryos germinated after sub culture from shoot apex. Different concentration and combination of NAA, IAA, IBA and BAP were used to inducted rooting on MS based medium. When the hight in vitro shoot, were reached up to 8 cm with healthy shooted roots, the plants were ready for hardening. The complete protocol for somatic embryogenesis, shoot induction, root induction up to hardening.

Russian anarchist and anti-war movement in the third year of full-scale warAntti Rautiainen
Anarchist group ANA Regensburg hosted my online-presentation on 16th of May 2024, in which I discussed tactics of anti-war activism in Russia, and reasons why the anti-war movement has not been able to make an impact to change the course of events yet. Cases of anarchists repressed for anti-war activities are presented, as well as strategies of support for political prisoners, and modest successes in supporting their struggles.

This session provides a comprehensive overview of the latest updates to the Uniform Administrative Requirements, Cost Principles, and Audit Requirements for Federal Awards (commonly known as the Uniform Guidance) outlined in the 2 CFR 200.
With a focus on the 2024 revisions issued by the Office of Management and Budget (OMB), participants will gain insight into the key changes affecting federal grant recipients. The session will delve into critical regulatory updates, providing attendees with the knowledge and tools necessary to navigate and comply with the evolving landscape of federal grant management.
Learning Objectives:
- Understand the rationale behind the 2024 updates to the Uniform Guidance outlined in 2 CFR 200, and their implications for federal grant recipients.
- Identify the key changes and revisions introduced by the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) in the 2024 edition of 2 CFR 200.
- Gain proficiency in applying the updated regulations to ensure compliance with federal grant requirements and avoid potential audit findings.
- Develop strategies for effectively implementing the new guidelines within the grant management processes of their respective organizations, fostering efficiency and accountability in federal grant administration.

32. Concluding Remarks
Presented Field Data have strongly indicated that Botanical Insecticides ; Neem EC
(1% Azadrachtin), Oxymatrine EC alone or in combination with Summer Oil were an
effective alternative control measures against Dubas Bug .
Bio agents namely ; Bt, eggs & larval parasitiods were an effective IPM package to
manage Lesser Date Moth .
Solar Traps was an effective tool for Monitoring & Control of major Date Palm Borers.
Bio pesticides ( Trichoderma) & Bio Fertilizers ( Rhizobium,Psedomonas & Bacillus
and tolerant genotype gave dual effects by reducing Ascochyta & Fusarium wilt
incidence and enhance productivity of Chickpea.
Noticeable Role of HSAD Project on offering Research & New Technology Materials
, as well as supporting Local & International Training Program.
Finally Two important Notes:
All most all HASAD IPM activities were based on the outcome of previously
completed national & international Projects.
Both changing of HSAD Work Plan and the Urgency to show results (Rapid Impacts)
caused negative impacts on the conduct of the project.
