Published by Crop Pest Management Division

Despite Typhoon KristinePh, the Bureau of Plant Industry-Crop Pest Management Division managed to visit areas in Region I, including Ilocos Norte and Pangasinan, to monitor and validate the pests, specifically onion armyworm and diseases. Many farmers actively participated and expressed their willingness to adopt these management practices.

To support local farmers, the team collaborated with technical staff from the Regional Crop Protection Center I and engaged interested farmers in the installation of pheromone lures. Educational sessions were conducted in the visited barangays, discussing common pests like the Onion Armyworm (OAW) and the diseases affecting onion crops. Demonstrations on the proper installation of the pheromone lures were held, and materials such as biopesticides and fungicides were provided to enhance pest management efforts.

Great work, everyone! Your commitment is truly making a difference!
