Flashcards
0/25
Fall Armyworm
Use of biopesticides, introduction of natural predators, and crop rotation.
Taro Beetle
Manual removal, setting up traps, and cultivation practices to destroy larvae.
Coffee Borer Beetle
Use of entomopathogenic fungi, pheromone traps, and good agricultural practices like pruning.
Coconut Rhinoceros Beetle
Biological control through virus infection, pheromone trapping, and sanitation.
Banana Weevil
Clean cultivation, use of nematodes for biological control, and application of pesticides if necessary.
African Cotton Bollworm
Crop rotation, introduction of natural enemies, and the use of genetically modified (Bt) crops.
Cocoa Pod Borer
Maintenance of tree height, use of sex pheromones to disrupt mating, and timely harvesting.
Citrus Psyllid
Use of reflective mulches, conservation of natural enemies, and application of neonicotinoids.
Locusts
Chemical control with pesticides, biocontrol using pathogens, and habitat alteration.
Mango Seed Weevil
Post-harvest treatment with hot water, use of pheromone traps, and orchard sanitation.
Mealybugs
Biological control with predators, horticultural oil applications, and cultural practices to reduce propagation.
Whiteflies
Use of yellow sticky traps, promotion of natural enemies, and application of insecticidal soap.
Mites
Sulfur dusting, release of predatory mites, and judicious use of acaricides.
Thrips
Exclusion with fine netting, use of blue sticky traps, and application of spinosad.
Rice Water Weevil
Flooding fields to drown larvae, application of insecticides during seeding, and resistant rice varieties.
Pineapple Mealybug
Biological control using ladybird beetles, chemical control with insecticides, and maintaining good crop hygiene.
Root-knot Nematodes
Use of nematode-resistant crop varieties, soil solarization, and application of nematicides.
Papaya Fruit Fly
Bagging fruits to exclude flies, bait sprays, and removal of infested fruits.
Sweet Potato Weevil
Crop rotation, use of pheromone traps, and post-harvest storage management.
Tomato Fruitworm
Hand-picking, targeted chemical applications, and pheromone disruption techniques.
Aphids
Introduction of parasitic wasps, foliar sprays with neem oil, and use of reflective mulch.
Corn Stalk Borer
Biological control with Trichogramma, timely planting to avoid peak infestations, and resistant corn varieties.
Scale Insects
Release of lady beetles or parasitic wasps, horticultural oil sprays, and pruning of infested branches.
Palm Weevil
Pheromone traps to monitor and reduce populations, sanitary measures, and biological control with entomopathogenic nematodes.
Cassava Green Mite
Introduction of predatory mites, genetic host plant resistance, and judicious use of acaricides.
