Safe product and clean environment», which was held under the patronage of His Excellency Prof. Dr. Abdulrahman bin Hamad Aldaoud, Rector of the University, with the participation of 13 panelists and experts to discuss issues of concern to sustainability in Agricultural sector.The first session was held under the title "The Concept of Integrated Agricultural Pest Management " under the chairmanship of Dr. Ahmed Al-Ruqaiba, Dr. Najdi Farouk Abdul Baqi, Professor at the Department of Plant Production and Prevention at the Faculty of Agriculture, participated in it . and veterinary medicine at the university, with a research paper entitled "Integrated Pest Management Policies", in which he stressed However, integrated pest management is strategies developed as future plans that contribute to conservation. On economic crops from loss by agricultural pests without compromising the environment.
During the study, he addressed integrated control methods that work together within an integrated framework of the best means of control . Ancient and novel that can be applied when a pest of pests, or what is known as management, is active. Integrated pest management through the practical treatment of pest populations based on environmental foundations To reduce their population to below the level of economic damage.
He explained that the integrated control strategy depends on the practical aspect and environmental foundations and this is what distinguishes it from Other means of control that rely only on the practical aspect, without relying on the aspect Ecology, as it puts all the means of control together using the best combination of control methods to allow We live with the scourge while there is no economic loss, as it is a changing system This allows it to be developed as we delve deeper into understanding the factors affecting the ecosystem . Agricultural, such as climate, alternative plant factors, beneficial insects, and human activities.
Dr. Mohammed bin Abdulaziz Al-Dughairi , Professor at the Department of Plant Production and Prevention, also spoke during the session. Faculty of Agriculture and Veterinary Medicine, Qassim University, Deputy Director of the Center for Promising Research in Biocontrol And agricultural information at the university, about "biological control as one of the elements of integrated pest management", explaining that Sustainable development gives the utmost importance to increasing food production by increasing the productivity of the land, and aims at the time The same to find and transfer cleaner technology «less polluted» and more efficient and to regulate Use fertilizers and pesticides to reduce pollution of land, water, plants and the environment as a whole.
He warned that the availability of pesticides in local markets leads to farmers using intensively. And random for those pesticides that are widespread and non-selective, resulting in the elimination of a lot of beneficial insects, caused an increase in the activity of some other pests, and then began The resistance of these pests to the pesticides used with the desire of farmers to increase doses and the number of times of treatment With those pesticides trying to reduce the damage of those pests and most importantly those problems It is the arrival of those pesticides and their concentration in the bodies of consumers and animals.
Al-Dughairi pointed out that researchers in the field of agricultural pest control have tried to find alternatives to these pesticides. To minimize their use and mitigate their negative effects on humans, their animals and the environment in general, Stressing that «vital control» is one of the important means, which has proven successful in many countries, To reduce the use of pesticides in the agricultural sector, which is the use of a human being by an organism Alive with the aim of eliminating a particular pest, that organism that is chosen to combat the pest, Known as a vital enemy, it can be a predator, a parasite or a pathogenic organism. Which in turn attacks and then eliminates the harmful pest.
He added that all countries are currently interested in activating the role of vital control in combat programs . Pests have them, due to the possibility of being used as an important part of an integrated management program to combat a particular pest, This is because of their importance in reducing the damage caused by chemical pesticides to the environment and to the quality of Water and for non-target organisms. Biocontrol is also a low-cost option compared to pesticides. Some elements of biocontrol can protect the agricultural crop produced from the damage of a pest Certain with the same efficiency that can be obtained when using pesticides.
The second session was held under the title "Organic and clean agriculture as one of the pillars of sustainable agriculture " under the chairmanship of Dr. Abdullah Dr. Ibrahim bin Mohammed Al-Shahwan , Professor at the Department of Plant Protection at the Faculty of Science, spoke in it .
