Insect pests of vegetables in Malaysia and their management using entomopathogenic fungi
The domestic economy in Malaysia is dominated by agriculture, which accounts for about 10% of the Gross Domestic Product (GDP), and contributed more than 23% of the total export earnings. Vegetable comprises about 15% of the daily food intake of the Malaysian population. Vegetables in Malaysia...

The domestic economy in Malaysia is dominated by agriculture, which accounts for about 10%
of the Gross Domestic Product (GDP), and contributed more than 23% of the total export
earnings. Vegetable comprises about 15% of the daily food intake of the Malaysian population.
Vegetables in Malaysia are mostly produced by smallholder farmers and this industry provides
millions of employments for the peoples, especially the rural dwellers. Insect pest is one of the
major constraints of vegetable production in Malaysia. During growth, different species of
insect pests such as armyworms, caterpillars, beetles, aphids, whiteflies, mites, and thrips cause
serious damage to different vegetable crops, which reduce yield and make it unsuitable for
human consumption. Integrated Pest Management (IPM) has been internationally recognized
approach to pest control. IPM programme for insect pest of vegetable include, cultural control,
physical control, mechanical control, biological control (parasitoids, predators, and
entomopathogens), Plant Resistance to insects (PRI), and chemical control. Comparably,
entomopathogenic fungi has demonstrated advantageous performance in infecting hosts
directly through the integument. This paper aims to review some of the available literature on
the IPM of insect pests of vegetables in Malaysia with more emphasis on insect pathogenic
fungi as a contribution to components of IPM. |
