“…During the early period of chemical use (1950s-1970s), 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid (2,4-D) and pentachlorophenol (PCP) were widely used as chemical herbicides for broad-leaved species and barnyardgrass, respectively (Matsunaka, 2001;Takeshita and Noritake, 2001;Ueji and Inao, 2001). Organochlorine and organophosphorous agents (e.g., DDT, BHC, and parathion) were used as pesticides for rice pests such as Tryporyza incertulas and Chilo suppressalis (Kiritani, 1979). Organic mercury was applied as a fungicide to prevent rice blast.…”

A B S T R A C TFlooded rice fields can provide habitats for wetland species and ecosystem services similar to those of natural wetlands. During the last three decades, however, farming practices and management systems have been intensified in many rice-producing countries. In addition, more recent socioeconomic changes have caused agricultural abandonment in some parts of East and Southeast Asian countries such as Japan. This study reviewed long-term statistics on rice farming, as well as the impact of agricultural intensification and abandonment on farmland biodiversity at multiple spatial scales in Japan. The impact of pesticide use was greatest in the 1950s-1970s, when the use of highly toxic agents had not yet been prohibited. More recently, different components of agricultural intensification have been the largest threat for various taxa, for example, chemical pesticides for aquatic plants and invertebrates and modern efficient irrigation/ drainage systems for amphibians, fishes, and waterbirds. The negative impacts of agricultural abandonment on farmland species have been rapidly increasing with the expansion of abandoned fields and the subsequent vegetation succession and loss of habitat heterogeneity. We also discuss the effectiveness of environmentally friendly farming practices, including the reduced use of pesticides, winter paddy flooding, and installation of fishways, to reduce the negative impacts of agricultural intensification on farmland species in rice-paddy landscapes.

“…In Japan (Kiritani 1979) and the Philippines (IRRI 1976), it was demonstrated that spiders have an important role as predators in rice fields. Spiders have been introduced into rice fields in the People's Republic of China as biological control agents of rice pests (Nyffeler and Benz 1980).…”

/ Based on the literature and on work conducted in Israel, the management of spider populations through habitat manipulation was found to be very helpful in controlling pest insects in various crops. Spiders were found to be reduced or eliminated by nonselective insecticides, although some resistance has been notedIn some ecological situations, spiders can contribute tO prey reduction and regulation. In each ecosystem the impact of spiders follows two pathways. These are the predatory pressure of the whole group of spiders on the entomocoenosis, and the pressure of particular spider species on some species of phytophagous insects (Luczak 1979). The results obtained by American, Japanese, and Polish arachnologists in crop fields, and by Canadian and Israeli arachnologists in orchards, provide evidence that spiders can be used as the natural enemies of pests in several key crops. It is known that, under crop conditions, spiders are important enemies of aphids, mites, and lepidoptera larvae and eggs.

“…According to Kiritani (1979), eco-friendly, less costly measures, such as, cropping system approach, botanicals (Prakash et al, 2008) are more advantageous over insecticides, as they fit well in IPM. The safer plant products are useful in developing sound pest management strategies (Gupta and Singh, 2002).…”

Eggplant (Solanum melongena Linnaeus) is one of the most economically important vegetable of tropics having hot-wet climate. The key pest, eggplant fruit and shoot borer, Leucinodes orbonalis Guenee found to be most destructive and first ranked threat especially in South Asia, hence become hot issue for research in this region. It inflicts sizeable damage up to 80 percent in terms of fruit and content of vitamin-C. This situation refrained the farmers growing eggplant, hence relevant literatures were gleaned and overviews regarding biology and management of borer with supportive facts and figure for safe and healthy eggplant production. As integrated approaches of pest management have been gaining popularity nowadays, this article outlines all the components of IPM including use of resistant varieties, sex pheromones, cultural methods, physical and mechanical barriers, bio-pesticides and bio-control agents, botanical and chemical means of management including basic biological parameters associated with management.
