Among the topics are the principles of IPM and information on rice morphology and growth stages, which are necessary in the development of sampling methods and timing of control practices, and insects, weeds, diseases and rodents of major importance in tropical Asia. Details of the geographic distribution, life cycle of the pests, and damage they cause are described and illustrated. The integration of sampling methods, economic thresholds, pesticides, resistant varieties, and natural enemies in the management of pests is explained." - The Authors ER -
