Mohamad Mohd Salleh Y.M., . (1985) Cultural control and the use of resistant varieties in integrated pest management of rice insect and rodent pests. [Proceedings Paper]
Abstract
Although chemical control is the most popular method used in rice pest management other non-chemical control methods such as using of resistant varieties cultural mechanical and physical control could be more effective in the long run. These control methods do not have problems associated with the use of chemical pesticides. In fact they blend very well in integrated pest management programmes. More often than not these control methods are used as the first line of defence against rice pests. Stubble management synchronous planting proper sanitation fertilization water management and other practices help to a certain extent in reducing pest infestations. Weeds which are alternate hosts of rice insect pests need to be cleared from the paddy fields. For some pests physical barriers and traps could be used either to trap and kill or to exclude the pests from the planted crop. Physical barriers have often been shown to be effective in preventing rodent damage in many situations. Resistant varieties have proven succesful in reducing brown planthopper problem in many countries. A few resistant varieties have been developed locally against the brown planthopper and the green leafhopper.
