The Effectiveness of Trap Plants and Pheromone Traps for Spodoptera litura and Leucinodes orbonalis Management

The use of castor as trap plants for Spodoptera litura feeding on onions continued to be assessed during the onion-growing season. While castor plants effectively attracted […]

Field Evaluation of Damaged Fruit Removal as an Alternative to Insecticide Sprays for Control of Eggplant Shoot and Fruit Borer, Leucinodes orbonalis

In efforts to reduce labor costs attributed to the weekly removal of damages shoots and fruits of eggplant to minimize damage by and populations of Leucinodes […]

Movement of Arthropod Predators

The aim of the project is to quantify movements of predators between habitats in rice-onion cropping systems. Our hypothesis is that generalist predators can be found […]

Effectiveness of Selected Larval Parasitoids against Spodoptera litura, Maruca testulalis, and Leucinodes orbonalis

The field level of parasitism of Leucinodes orbonalis by the ichneumonid parasitoid, Trathala flavoorbitalis was monitored to gain insights into the parasitoid’s performance in the farmer’s […]

Detection, Carryover, and Biological Control of Soil-borne Pathogens in Rice Vegetable Systems

During the four years of continuous monitoring of soil-borne pathogens infesting rice-vegetable systems in San Jose, Nueva Ecija, five were found seriously affecting rice and vegetable […]

Gender Roles and Intra-household Decision Processes in Relation to Rice-Onion Pest Management

Both PA results and those of a household survey conducted in San Jose and Bongabon, Nueva Ecija during 1997 suggest that women are involved in decision […]
