More Information
Persistent pests occur on crops almost throughout the year, while economic entomology studies insects that relate to human welfare. The Insecticide Act was passed in 1968, and alternating wetting and drying controls rice stem borers. NPV is commonly used against lepidopteran pests. Legal methods control foreign pests, crop rotation is a cultural control method, attractants elicit insect movement, Zygogramma bicolorata targets Parthenium hysterophorus, and Cryptolaemus montrouzieri is a predator.
Tips
Always verify pest management techniques and legal regulations from reliable entomology and agriculture management sources.
