The Impact of Pesticides on Ricefield Vertebrates with Emphasis on Fish

  • Chapter
Impact of Pesticides on Farmer Health and the Rice Environment

Part of the book series: Natural Resource Management and Policy ((NRMP,volume 7))

Abstract

Production of fish on rice farms, traditionally practiced in Asian countries, is considered by policymakers as a viable option for sustaining food production in lowland areas, augmenting farm income and improving the quality of food available to Asian farm households. Rice-fish farming systems hence represent an ideal practice for more efficient utilization of agricultural resources in lowland rice areas (Fagi Suriapermana and Syamsiah, 1989). In the Philippines, for example, the 1.5 million hectares of irrigated land planted to high-yielding rice varieties can produce 300,000 tons of tilapia or a combination of tilapia and common carp per year, or over 2.5 times the recorded volume of production from fish ponds. As such, rice-fish culture can potentially boost national fish production by at least 20 percent (Samson, 1979).

Notes

Lethal concentration of pesticide that results in 50 percent mortality of the test organism.
