Biological control using ladybird beetles, chemical control with insecticides, and maintaining good crop hygiene.
Tomato Fruitworm
Hand-picking, targeted chemical applications, and pheromone disruption techniques.
Sweet Potato Weevil
Crop rotation, use of pheromone traps, and post-harvest storage management.
Palm Weevil
Pheromone traps to monitor and reduce populations, sanitary measures, and biological control with entomopathogenic nematodes.
Taro Beetle
Manual removal, setting up traps, and cultivation practices to destroy larvae.
Mealybugs
Biological control with predators, horticultural oil applications, and cultural practices to reduce propagation.
Rice Water Weevil
Flooding fields to drown larvae, application of insecticides during seeding, and resistant rice varieties.

Locusts
Chemical control with pesticides, biocontrol using pathogens, and habitat alteration.
Mites
Sulfur dusting, release of predatory mites, and judicious use of acaricides.
Corn Stalk Borer
Biological control with Trichogramma, timely planting to avoid peak infestations, and resistant corn varieties.
Banana Weevil
Clean cultivation, use of nematodes for biological control, and application of pesticides if necessary.
Thrips
Exclusion with fine netting, use of blue sticky traps, and application of spinosad.
