Beneficial Insects Study for FAW Control in Central Java, Indonesia

Описание: Prof. Andi Trisyono from Universitas Gadjah Mada explains the teams latest research on how beneficial insects can support sustainable pest management for FAW control in Indonesia. The study is being conducted in Central Java, one of the major maize-producing areas in Indonesia. Field trials and farmer focus groups along with laboratory work under this project will help generate insights into FAW ecology and support the adoption of ecologically based Integrated Pest Management (IPM) practices.
