Pest [disease] management strategies for corn production in Bukidnon [Philippines]
1982
Josue, A.R.
Three short-term integrated pest management strategies for key pests of corn namely: Peronosclerospora philippinensis (Weston) Shaw; Rottboellia exaltata L.f. and Ostrinia furnacalis Guenee, were formulated and tested on two cultivars under three nitrogen rates for two seasons in three corn growing areas in the province of Bukidnon. These were the following: a) pest management strategy 1, a low input pest management strategy with an average investment cost of 390 pesos and 25 centavos per hectare; b) pest management strategy 2, with an average investment cost of 764 pesos and 15 centavos per hectare; and c) pest management strategy 3, with an average cost of 1,235 pesos and 90 centavos per hectare. The economic feasibility of the three pest management strategies were determined by cost and return analysis and comparative analysis of its incremental benefit/cost ratio
