Many individuals and institutions have contributed information that was used to build this website on IPM in Thailand. Their contributions are gratefully acknowledged.

The Department of Agriculture (DOA) and the Department of Agricultural Extension (DOAE) has over the years build up a vast knowledge on crop and pest management. Many of its staff were consulted and many of its publications were used as sources of information. The Offices of Agricultural Research and Development (OARD) of regions 1, 2, 5 and 6 shared their experiences and coordinated field activities with vegetables and fruit farmers. The toxic substances division provided information on pesticides and their registration.

For the development of IPM guidelines for fruit and vegetable crops in Thailand, the "Ecological guides" developed by the FAO Inter-Country programme for IPM in vegetables in South and Southeast Asia have been an inspiration and a source of information. Some parts of these guides were copied and/or translated into Thai language. Several illustration were copied and are used in this website and in the IPM guidelines for fruits and vegetables in Thailand.
