[Title] => Controlling eggplant fruit and shoot borer
[Summary] => Farmers need not worry much anymore about eggplant fruits with worms inside them by simply following a technique found by researchers of Philippine Rice Research Institute (PhilRice) in a project on rice-based vegetable production.
PhilRice supervising science research specialist Dong Arida and his team found out in a three-year study that weekly removal of damaged eggplant fruits and shoots, coupled with less insecticide application, produces more fruits without the worms.

[Title] => Alternative IPM methods for rice-onion crops developed
[Summary] => Alternative integrated pest management [IPM] practices developed by PhilRice [Philippine Rice Research Institute] researchers can very well fit into the current farming practices of onion farmers and reduce pesticide application.
The researchers have successfully integrated the alternative IPM practices in rice-onion cropping systems at the farm level for eight years.
The IPM strategies that can reduce pesticide inputs in onion farms are:

[Title] => Controlling eggplant pests
[Summary] => Housewives normally do not buy eggplant fruits with holes in them, as these have a worm or larvae of the fruit and shoot borer inside. However, researchers of PhilRice [Philippine Rice Research Institute] have found a way of producing more eggplant fruits without any worm in them without so many insecticides spraying.

[Title] => Use sex urge to kill onion pests
[Summary] => Onion farmers can capitalize on the sex urge of the moths of two major insect pests of onion — common cutworm and armyworm — to kill them.
Philippine Rice Research Institute researchers have found that at night when cutworm and armyworm moths are actively feeding on the leaves of onion crops, the female moths emit a chemical called sex pheromone that attracts the male insects for mating. Even at a far distance, the male moths could smell the sex pheromone and out of instinct, would fly immediately to the location of the chemical in search of a mate.
