N2  - Any significant rise in living standards in tropical countries depends upon improved yields of basic food crops. While the wider use of pesticides and fungicides would improve yields of these crops, this increased use of these materials must develop along with a general improvement in other agricultural techniques. Pesticide materials now available meet most of the requirements for good control of the prevalent diseases and pests. It is essential, however, that the companies producing them have more accurate data on tropical conditions and that they give more attention to educating the farmers in the correct use of the materials
