Socio-economic Parameters of Eggplant Pest Control in Jessore District of Bangladesh
AVRDC- the World Vegetable Center
This study reflects the irrational use of pesticide use in eggplant cultivation that has serious consequences to human health and the environment. After two years of research, an integrated pest management strategy consisting of weekly excising of EFSB-damaged shoots, installation of pheromone lures to trap male EFSB moths, and withholding of chemical pesticides to follow local natural enemies to control EFSB, was developed.
