  abstract = {{D}espite its theoretical prominence and sound principles, integrated pest management ({IPM}) continues to suffer from anemic adoption rates in developing countries. {T}o shed light on the reasons, we surveyed the opinions of a large and diverse pool of {IPM} professionals and practitioners from 96 countries by using structured concept mapping. {T}he first phase of this method elicited 413 open-ended responses on perceived obstacles to {IPM}. {A}nalysis of responses revealed 51 unique statements on obstacles, the most frequent of which was "insufficient training and technical support to farmers." {C}luster analyses, based on participant opinions, grouped these unique statements into six themes: research weaknesses, outreach weaknesses, {IPM} weaknesses, farmer weaknesses, pesticide industry interference, and weak adoption incentives. {S}ubsequently, 163 participants rated the obstacles expressed in the 51 unique statements according to importance and remediation difficulty. {R}espondents from developing countries and high-income countries rated the obstacles differently. {A}s a group, developing-country respondents rated "{IPM} requires collective action within a farming community" as their top obstacle to {IPM} adoption. {R}espondents from high-income countries prioritized instead the "shortage of well-qualified {IPM} experts and extensionists." {D}ifferential prioritization was also evident among developing-country regions, and when obstacle statements were grouped into themes. {R}esults highlighted the need to improve the participation of stakeholders from developing countries in the {IPM} adoption debate, and also to situate the debate within specific regional contexts.},
