Lebanese potato farmers find that less is more

Fix it with chemicals. That was the old belief. But Lebanese farmers who took part in a project to reduce their reliance on pesticides and fertilisers, discovered that they can yield the same produce with less chemicals.

Traditionally, farmers in Lebanon depended on chemical fertilisers and pesticides to manage plant nutrition or plant pests and diseases. Most farmers believed that increasing the quantity of chemical fertilisers would increase the yields of their crops.

But now the rapidly deteriorating economic and financial crisis in Lebanon has made people rethink the situation. Most agricultural inputs (such agrochemicals, seeds, animal feed, vaccines and other veterinary supplies, etc.) are imported and, with the devaluation of the Lebanese currency, these are becoming out of reach for most farmers. They can no longer afford to rely on these increasingly expensive inputs.

With this situation of necessity and so many downsides of chemicals, farmers are now more convinced than ever in using fewer fertilisers and pesticides and finding better ways to manage their land, improve yields and preserve water.

One United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) project is helping farmers reduce their reliance on pesticides and fertilisers, while also addressing the agrochemical pollution of Lebanon’s Upper Litani river basin. The project promotes integrated crop management (ICM), a technique that balances farming requirements with environmental responsibility.

Learning valuable lessons

Mostapha Kheireddine, a young potato farmer from Majdaloun-Baalbek in the eastern part of Lebanon, was farming with practices passed down in his family when he heard about this project from his neighbour. He attended a project field day during the late potato season in December 2020 and was then selected to join the project because of his interest in learning more about ICM.

The FAO project, implemented with the ministry of agriculture (MoA) and with funding from Norway, trained Mostapha and 41 other potato farmers in ICM practices.

This project established numerous potato pilot plots in Baalbek to compare the farmers’ traditional practices with ICM practices. In every plot, two fields were planted side by side, one by a project facilitator using validated ICM practices. Throughout the potato-growing season, the plot facilitator followed the crop development and made the necessary changes in the levels of irrigation, pest management and crop nutrition.

The facilitator kept a record of all interventions made in both farmer and ICM plots, including quantities and types of pesticides and fertilisers used. At the end of the growing season, the yield of each field (farmer and ICM) was calculated and comparisons were drawn.

The results proved that it is feasible to reduce the use of chemical fertilisers by an average of 50% and pesticide sprays by at least 60% while maintaining the same or better productivity. Farmers could see the results directly in the field and were convinced.

Mostapha and other Lebanese farmers were able to decrease their use of chemical fertilisers by up to 50% and pesticides by up to 60% and maintain the same yields. They now have proof that reducing agrochemicals will not harm their livelihoods or food security. Photo: Elie Harika/FAO

Mostapha reduced his application of fertilisers by 100 kg per dunum (about 0.1 hectare), a reduction of USD 130 in the cost of production per dunum and is confident in his work. “With the support of FAO and MoA teams, we now know how much water to add to the crops and how to test the soil. We are now more experienced.” He added “This year I only used chemical pesticides once. I used to spray my land twice per year. Next year I am not spraying chemical pesticides at all!”

Spreading the message

Potato farmers are now convinced that using fewer fertilisers and pesticides is possible without any decrease in potato yield. Farmers, like Mustapha, went on to apply ICM practices to other crops like grapes, which they usually plant in parallel with potatoes.

“I would like to thank the FAO and MoA, in particular this year with the multiple crises we are facing in the country, in addition to the Covid-19 repercussions on the agricultural sector,” said Abou Nazih, another potato farmer involved in the project. “We barely managed, but we made it by following the instructions of the project team.”

To ensure continued support to the farmers, the FAO trained project facilitators and technical staff from the ministry of agriculture on ICM practices. With this knowledge, facilitators became more confident and were able to gain the trust of the farmers, who consult with them regularly on challenges they are having on their land. The project also intends to spread the use of these practices to other crop production in the area.
