Section 4 • Integrated Insect and Rodent Pests Management<br />

3. Develop an improved procedure <strong>of</strong> sanitation as a management strategy against pod borers,<br />

leafminers, and leaf folders <strong>of</strong> organically-grown vegetables.<br />

4. Facilitate each farmer to do hands-on <strong>of</strong> sanitation practices to control pod borers, leafminers,<br />

and leaf folders on organically-grown vegetables and other plants observed in learning field at<br />

all growth stages by improving the procedure below:<br />

5 Determine if there are infestation <strong>of</strong> pod borers, leafminers, and leaf folders on vegetables<br />

and other plants;<br />

5 Rogue host weeds or plants at earlier stages <strong>of</strong> growth;<br />

5 Remove infested leaves and fruits at later growth stages;<br />

5 Dispose properly rogued plants, removed leaves or fruits and other crop residues by<br />

burying, burning, etc.;<br />

5 Plow under infested crop residues immediately after harvest; and<br />

5 Take note <strong>of</strong> all relevant observations and experiences during this activity.<br />

5. Synthesize and summarize output <strong>of</strong> small groups into one big group output. Draw up<br />

conclusions and recommendations from this exercise.<br />

some suggested questions <strong>for</strong> processing discussion<br />

❏ Did you observe infestation <strong>of</strong> pod borers, leafminers, and leaf folders on organically-grown<br />

vegetables and other plants in learning and adjoining fields?<br />

❏ Did you observe any farmer practicing sanitation to control pod borers, leafminers, and leaf<br />

folders on organically-grown vegetables and other plants in farmers’ field?<br />

❏ What other pests can be effectively controlled by sanitation practices? Is sanitation applicable<br />

as a control strategy <strong>for</strong> all pests <strong>of</strong> organically-grown vegetables? When is the best time to do<br />

sanitation?<br />

❏ Did you observe any innovative sanitation practices by farmers as a control strategy <strong>for</strong> pod<br />

borers, leafminers, and leaf folders <strong>of</strong> organically-grown vegetables?<br />

❏ What other cultural management options can you use to complement sanitation as a control<br />

strategy <strong>for</strong> pod borers, leafminers, and leaf folders <strong>of</strong> organically-grown vegetables?<br />
