註釋

During the past two decades Eggplant, Solanum melongena L crop has been increasingly ravaged by an insect, eggplant fruit and shoot borer (EFSB), Leucinodes orbonalis (Guenée), the larvae of which bore inside eggplant fruit. A regional collaborative research and development project was undertaken in Bangladesh, India, and Sri Lanka to develop a sustainable IPM strategy and validate its utility in pilot project studies on farmers’ fields. Research results indicated that prompt cutting and removal of pest-damaged shoots reduces pest damage to fruit if such practice is coupled with other community-wide means to reduce immigration of pest adults into the area. This latter point reinforces the need for a community-based approach where all farmers practice sanitation and destroy other sources of EFSB, such as old eggplant stubble stored in the field or near dwellings.
