Title StatementSurvey and control of insect pest of minor fruit crops in the Philippines: avocado, cashew, guava, guyabano, jackfruit, and strawberry
General NoteCollege, Laguna: UPLB, 1985, pp. 52-80. -(PCARRD Proj. No. 34-222-21; Study 3)
Summary, Etc.A field disease survey showed 84 species of insects infesting the minor fruit crops. Among these, the following were considered most destructive: Aegeria sp. (barkborer) on avocado; Gracillariidae (leaffolder) and Ferris vigrata (mealy bug) on cashew; Aleurodicus dispernus (white fly) and Dacus dorsalis (fruitfly) on guava; Heterographis bengalella (fruitborer), Planococcus lilacinus (mealy bug) and Hilda breviceps (treehopper) on guayabano; Diaphania caesalis (fruit moth) and Dacus umbrosus (fruitfly ) on jackfruit; and Leucopholis irrorata (white grub) and Spodoptera litura (cutworm) on strawberry. Carbaryl at 0.4% a.i. was found to be most effective in controlling cashew leaffolder. Malathion (0.1% a.i.), Methomyl (0.5% a.i.) and Diazinon (0.2% a.i.) were also found effective. When sprayed five times at 15 day intervals, these insecticides could reduce leaffolder infestation by 90-100%. Five spraying of Methomyl (0.5% a.i.) and Chlorpyrifos (0.1% a.i.) at 15 day intervals eradicated bark borer on severely infested avocado trunks. Diazinon (0.2% a.i.), Methomyl (0.5% a.i.) and Chlorpyrifos (0.1% a.i.) sprayed four times at 15 day intervals reduced whitefly population on guava by 80-86%. Malathion (0.1% a.i.) also effectively controlled whitefly population build-up. Carbaryl (0.4% a.i.), Methomyl (0.5% a.i.) and Malathion (0.1% a.i.) sprayed at 14 day intervals completely protected guayabano from fruitborer infestation
