The main pests infesting the crops or manufactured products and their roles in the production of these sectors are emphasized. Pests of important crops in Malaysia are emphasized, including pest of forest and grains.
This course will discuss on numerous factors which allow classes of insects to live as pest populations and various steps taken to control them, namely physical, chemical, mechanical and biological controlling methods as well as reduction of their source of food and regulatory control measures. Within the context of chemical control, aspects of action, toxicity, physiology and pesticide technology as well as its effect on environment and magnification will be discussed. Combinations of two or more methods of control to manage insect pests, and the best possible approach and its effects on the ecological, environmental and economical aspects will also be discussed.
