Comparing Sorghum and Wheat Stubble as an Integrated Pest Management Tool

Date Issued:2002-08-13

Abstract

Cotton planted into cereal stubble has numerous benefits over conventional planting methods, such as reducing soil erosion, reducing pesticide and nutrient movement, and improving soil condition (Waters and Sequeira 2000). The main focus of the current research is to identify the potential benefits of stubble in insect pest management and determine if different types of cereal stubble have an impact on pests and natural enemy numbers.
