  Insect and mite pests of cotton feed on cotton roots, leaves, stems, and fruit and reduce plant health and productivity, and, subsequently, cotton crop yields. These pests hide in different places on or within the plant or field, which makes them difficult to find and identify and costly to manage. The purpose of this 14-page guide written by Joseph Funderburk, Nicole Casuso, Norman Leppla, and Michael Donahoe and published by the Department of Entomology and Nematology is to provide Florida cotton growers a selected set of options for integrated pest management of insects and mites in cotton fields. It serves as a reference for cultural, mechanical, biological, and chemical control of arthropods. The guide includes links to additional UF/IFAS EDIS articles, as well as external sources of information on arthropod management. The guide also contains a searchable table of registered insecticides, herbicides, and fungicides for Florida cotton.­edis.ifas.ufl.edu/in1111

Integrated Pest Management for Crops and Pastures describes in straightforward language what is required for farmers to successfully implement Integrated Pest Management (IPM) in cropping and grazing operations. It explains the differences between conventional pesticide-based controls and IPM, and demonstrates the advantages of IPM. Effective control of pests depends on a number of approaches, not just chemical or genetic engineering. The opening chapters cover the different approaches to pest management, and the importance of identification and monitoring of pests and beneficials. Most farmers and advisors can identify major pests but would struggle to recognise a range of beneficial species. Without this information it is impossible to make appropriate decisions on which control methods to use, especially where pests are resistant to insecticides. The book goes on to deal with the control methods: biological, cultural and chemical. The biological control agents discussed include both native and introduced species that attack pests. Cultural changes that have led to an increase in the incidence or severity of pest attack are also examined. The chapter on chemical control describes the different ways chemicals can affect beneficial species, also detailing acute, sub-lethal and transient toxicities of pesticides, drawing on examples from horticulture where necessary. Finally, the authors bring all the components of integrated pest management together and show farmers how to put their IPM plan into action.

Pests And Diseases

<p>Pest and disease are important biotic obstacles to increase rice yield and production in Indonesia since adoption of green revolution to increase rice yield. This is partly due to the irrational use of pesticides. This paper is a review on information technology (IT) based decision support system (DSSs) in line to the integrated pest management (IPM) implementation strategy for extensionists and farmers in the fields. IPM integrates compatible control techniques to manage pest populations below the economic injury level. IT based DSSs ultimately needed so that extension workers and farmers can quickly access sources of information about pests and diseases as well as prediction of development and control techniques to implement IPM. Web based DSSs to grow healthy rice plant, pest observation and monitoring, cyber extension to make famers an expert on IPM were available, except on how to identify and utilize natural enemies are still lacking. Indonesia need to develop more IT based DSSs which accessible on web as well as on smartphone and create enabling environment for improving IPM implementation on rice not only by officer but also gradually by farmers it self to control pests and diseases of rice which are still an obstacle in increasing production.</p><p>Keywords: Rice, pest, diseases, integrated pest management, information technology</p><p> </p><p><strong>Abstrak</strong></p><p>SISTEM PENDUKUNG PENGAMBILAN KEPUTUSAN HAMA TERPADU PADA TANAMAN PADI BE RPBEANSGIESNDALIAN TEKNOLOGI INFORMASI</p><p>Sejak inovasi revolusi hijau diintroduksikan di Indonesia, hama dan penyakit tanaman semakin berkembang sehingga menghambat upaya peningkatan produktivitas dan produksi padi.

Abiotic And Biotic Factors

Abstract Studies on the natural factors contributing to pest regulation are fundamental to developing efficient integrated pest management programs. Chemical control is the main management method used for pests [e.g., Aphis gossypii (Glover)]. The studies of pest management with chemical control provide information that can be incorporated into integrated pest management programs to promote more sustainable pest control approaches. Here, we report the critical stages of A. gossypii and its abiotic and biotic natural mortality factors in cotton crops as a function of plant phenology using a life table. The critical stages of A. gossypii were the first and fourth instars. Together, the abiotic and biotic factors caused 94.31% of the mortality in the A. gossypii populations in cotton crops with plants in the vegetative, flowering, and fruiting stages. The key mortality factors were rainfall and predation. Syrphidae Allograpta exotica (Wiedemann) (Diptera: Syrphidae) and Chrysopidae Chrysoperla externa (Hagen) (Neuroptera: Chrysopidae) larvae, many Coccinellidae species Cycloneda sanguinea (L.) (Coleoptera: Coccinellidae), Eriopsis connexa (Germar) (Coleoptera: Coccinellidae), Harmonia axyridis (Pallas) (Coleoptera: Coccinellidae), Hippodamia convergens (Guérin-Meneville) (Coleoptera: Coccinellidae), Scymnus rubicundus (Erichson) (Coleoptera: Coccinellidae) and Stethorus punctillum (Weise) (Coleoptera: Coccinellidae), one Anthocoridae species Orius insidiosus (Say) (Hemiptera: Anthocoridae), and individuals from the Araneidae family were responsible for the predation of A. gossypii. The results obtained in this study provide support for the idea that efforts to preserve natural enemies (e.g., predators) and rainfall monitoring should be adapted due to their importance for the regulation of A. gossypii populations in all the phenological stages of cotton in tropical regions.

Pesticide Application

Agricultural economists have long recognized pest populations as common property resources, and, as such, pest control through chemical pesticide application involves a tradeoff between increased crop yields and reduced environmental quality (Carlson; Regev et al.). Integrated pest management (IPM) attempts to minimize this tradeoff by substituting pest information and management skills for chemical pesticides. In part, IPM involves monitoring pest populations in order to utilize beneficial biological interactions. Weather patterns, stage of crop growth, and natural biological enemies of pests are among the factors included in IPM. In addition, entomologists have extended the integrated control concept to include selective rather than nonselective pesticide application that is applied only when pest populations exceed the “economic threshold” level (Hall and Norgaard). In an earlier economic analysis of IPM, Hall concluded that the major advantages of IPM are: (1) a substantial reduction in overall pesticide use, (2) no significant reduction in profits, (3) no significant loss of yields, (4) an overall reduction in pest management costs, and (5) a reduction in risk for the producers.
