Efficacy of different levels and concentrations of Tinospora crispa leachates on controlling Fall Army Worm(Spodoptera frugiperda: Noctuidae) in Zea mays L. (On-going study)
Corn production depends heavily on inputs such as fertilizers and pesticides which does not only degrade the agro-ecosystem but also economically inefficient .This study will be conducted to look for a new alternative means of controlling fall armyworm which are the candidate for sudden loss of yield by our corn farmers.This study could be beneficial for farmers as well as businessmen who are concerned of the environmental deterioration. The study should be divided into two phase. Same with the study in Derris(Rotenone), Makabuhay leachates will be also included in the experiment in the DOSCST-SAN Isidro Campus,Davao Oriental, Philippines. As based on study of Norain Isa and Syazwani Aziz Satar et.al on Spodoptera exigua on Spinacia oleraceae(2013) . One for the laboratory and field experiment. To do screening in proper levels or concentrations for effective killing formulations against the insect pest
Hi @Cyril : This is very interesting. Have you added link to the data/publication online. It doesn’t seem to be working
Actually ma’am. This is an on-going study for my MS Thesis proposal. I am working also on the efficacy of Derris (Rotenone). It will be started not later than November and December of this year. Following both in vitro condition and in vivo for verification. I’m gathering some information for tomorrow’s webinar on Grow Asia
That’s wonderful that you are studying the efficacy of Botanical against FAW.
All the best for the webinar, looking forward for your presentation to be posted here 🙂
Thanks for motivation ma’am 😊. Big fan of those post here and publications for a student like me as additional information for my learnings here. Best regards and stay safe 😊
