CIMBAA

Starting in 2007 CAS-IP is assisting The World Vegetable Centre (AVRDC) in a project called the Collaboration on Insect Management in Brassicas in Asia and Africa (CIMBAA). The CIMBAA project is a public-private partnership involving AVRDC, the Centre for Environmental Stress and Adaptation Research of the University of Melbourne, the Natural Resources Institute of the University of Greenwich, Cornell University and Nunhems B.V. This project seeks to address the serious problems caused to cabbage and cauliflower by various insect pests and in particular, the Diamondback moth, through developing sustainable solutions to farmers, consumers, seed companies and the environment.For more information on this project, please contact Guat Hong Teh, the CAS team member working on this project.
