    • Thanks for the update. Crop or non-crop diversity in - and off-farm on a spatial scale from farm to the landscape level can increase the diversity of natural enemies. Basically, flowering habitat can provide shelter, nectar, alternative food and pollen (SNAP) to the pest natural enemies that can support the diversity and abundance of pest natural enemies and improve the biological control activity. In the case of FAW, to prove these relationships need further investigations

    • Yes, manual removal of egg masses and crossing of early-stage larvae would be very effective to prevent the pest from outbreak but are more effective on a small scale.
      December 22, 2020

    • What are the common tools for the collection of FAW predators and parasitoids? How we can preserve them for a long time. What are the key identification features (Morphological and Taxonomic Key) of potential predators and parasitoids?
      December 16, 2020

    • Thank you very much. Yes, Authors in their manuscript (https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jenvman.2019.05.011) have explained various aspects of agroecological measures that are potential for the management of FAW. These common potential practices are sustainable soil improvement practices, intercropping with various legume and non-legume crops, diversifying the habitat particularly the management of semi-natural (rich in floral) habitats at multiple spatial scales. Provision of floral resources in farms provide Shelter, Necter, Alternative food and pollen (SNAP) to the pest natural enemies and increase the fitness of biocontrol agents.

    • Samuel, I agree. cultural control in the form of agroecological practices (such as intercropping, mix cropping, flowering habitat in and off-farm) can promote the activity and fitness of biocontrol agents and improve the conservation biological control. These aspects need to be proved in the case of FAW.

    • Very informative and practical pictorial booklet. Useful for farmers and extension worker.
      December 11, 2020

    • Thank you. Let's see some more findings at the end of this year. There are other more benefit to the agro-ecosystem if we include legumes in intercropping. These benefits are repelling the pest, soil health improvement, attracting natural enemies etc.
      December 9, 2020

    • Thank you. Yes, this is important strategy for the smallholders.
      December 9, 2020

    • Very good compilation Dr. Deshmukh. This will be extremely important for the academicians, extension workers and growers.
