Nueva Ecija braces for seasonal crop pest infestation

ATTACK ON RICE. Rice black bugs are sap-feeding insects that attack rice plants in almost all stages of growth. The Department of Agriculture, in its advisory, said it is one of the pests that normally attack during the first quarter of the year.(File photo by DA-PhilRice) CABANATUAN CITY, Nueva Ecija -The Office of the Provincial Agriculturist (OPA) here on Wednesday urged farmers to protect crops from possible infestation by monitoring pests and diseases that normally attack during the first quarter of the year. The Department of Agriculture, based on its historical data, noted in its advisory released last week that the pests and diseases likely to occur from January to March are rodents, rice black bug, brown plant hopper, rice stem borer and bacterial leaf blight. Nueva Ecija, Aurora, Bataan, Bulacan, Pampanga and Tarlac are the provinces in Central Luzon that are susceptible to infestation. Nueva Ecija provincial agriculturist Bernardo Valdez said although there is no report yet of pest infestation, particularly rats in the province, their extension workers are closely monitoring the presence of the destructive pests. He added that crop damage could be avoided by monitoring the presence of pests and diseases. "Sa kabuuan sa Nueva Ecija, wala pa kaming nakikita na nagkakaroon ng infestation, lalo na sa daga. Yun naman ay mahigpit na mino-monitor ng mga extension worker natin sa bawat bayan at siyudad sa ating lalawigan (In the entire Nueva Ecija, we have not seen infestation, particularly rats. This is strictly being monitored by our extension workers in every town and city in our province),"Valdez said in a radio interview. He added that they are in close coordination with the DA's Regional Crop Protection Center in discussing with farmers the necessary steps to contain the pest infestation such as the implementation of integrated pest management practices. "Pest infestation is a major threat that we should prepare for. Farmers are advised to follow appropriate farming technologies like pesticide application," he added. In case of the occurrence of pest infestation, Valdez said their office with the help of the DA and the Regional Crop Protection Center is ready to provide support to the farmers. "Sa mga magsasaka natin dito sa Nueva Ecija, kung mayroon po kayong naoobserbahan o mangilan-ngilan na naapektuhan ng pag-atake ng daga o iba pang peste, makipag-ugnayan po kayo sa Municipal Agriculture Office at kami naman dito sa Provincial Agriculture Office ay laging nakasuporta para mabigyan lunas yun mga ganun sitwasyon (To the farmers here in Nueva Ecija, if you have observed or having been attacked by rats or other pests, coordinate to the Municipal Agriculture Office and we here at the Provincial Agriculture Office are always supportive to provide solutions to such kind of situation)," he added. A study by the International Rice Research Institute showed farmers lose an estimated average of 5-10 percent of their rice crop associated with rat damage every year. Likewise, according to the Philippine Rice Research Institute, pest infestations could reduce the rice harvests by 15 to 23 percent once the insect population hits a ratio of 10 bugs for each hill of rice plants.(PNA) }

DA-3 steps up measures vs. rice black bug infestation in Bataan

INFESTATION. Personnel of the Department of Agriculture-Regional Crop Protection Center distribute information materials to farmers on how to control rice black bug infestation in Barangay Townsite in Mariveles, Bataan on Wednesday (Nov. 24, 2021). Following the validation by personnel of the DA-Regional Crop Protection Center, it was found out that over 25 hectares of rice fields in Barangay Townsite have already been affected by rice black bug. (Photo by DA Region III) CITY OF SAN FERNANDO, Pampanga - The Department of Agriculture (DA) regional office here has intensified measures to control the black bug infestation in Bataan. The DA, through the Regional Crop Protection Center, on Wednesday discussed with farmers in Barangay Townsite in Mariveles, Bataan the necessary steps on how to contain the rice black bug, which has attacked some rice fields in the area. According to studies, the pest attack, when not properly controlled, can reportedly cause losses of up to 35 percent involving 10 adult rice black bugs per hill. Following the validation made by the personnel of the DA-Regional Crop Protection Center, it was found out that more than 25 hectares of rice fields in Barangay Townsite have already been affected by rice black bug. "Sana ay matulungan po kami ng DA sa pagpuksa ng rice black bug kasi ang ginagamit namin na pamatay ay di masyadong epektibo (Hopefully, the DA could help us control the rice black bug because the one that we are using to control black bug is not effective)," farmer Manolito Villena said in social media account post. DA regional executive director Crispulo Bautista said they have intensified the production and distribution of biological control agents, such as Metarhizium, for farmers to effectively implement the integrated pest management (IPM) to control the infestation. Bautista said DA-Regional Crop Protection Center discussed with the farmers the Metarhizium production and application, which is said to be the primary method to control rice black bug. He also underscored the importance of information dissemination to raise awareness among farmers so they could properly identify the presence of rice black bugs in their farms. Once they observe the presence of the rice black bug, the farmers must immediately report this to their local agriculture office for immediate control measures, he added. According to the Philippine Rice Research Institute (PhilRice) Crop Protection Division, the rice black bug, which was reported to have infested some countries in Asia in the past years, are small, cryptic, and highly invasive pest species attacking all growth stages of the rice plant, but which can be controlled naturally. One of PhilRice's recommended techniques is to use light traps. PhilRice experts said light trapping of insects should start five days before and after the full moon and to use 2,000 to 3,000 watts or super light during outbreaks and set them up every night to obtain the most number of bugs. The effective light trapping is from 8 p.m. to 12 p.m. Philrice experts also said that flooding, herding of ducks in the field, and sanitation also prevent pest infestation. Aside from those techniques, they are encouraging farmers to minimize the use of insecticide so as not to kill the natural enemies of rice black bug which include wasps, ground and coccinellid beetle, wolf, lynx, and long-jawed spider, red ant, and damsel bug.
