1 Integrated Pest Management in Banana Next

2 Integrated Pest Management in Banana Biocontrol is the reduction of disease producing activity of a pathogen accomplished by/or through organisms. Biocontrol Biocontrol uses natural or modified organisms, and genes or gene products of selected organisms to reduce the effects of undesirable pests affecting crops. Next End

3 Integrated Pest Management in Banana Trichogramma Wasp Bio-control Agents Parasitic Insects Certain insects act as parasites on eggs or larva, and kill the host insects. Epiricania melanoleuca NextPrevious End

4 Integrated Pest Management in Banana Robber fly Bio-control Agents Predatory Insects Predatory insects hunt and feeds on its prey insects. Assassin bug NextPrevious End

5 Integrated Pest Management in Banana Bacillus bacteria Bio-control Agents Pathogens Certain microorganisms such as bacteria, fungi and virus, infect insect pests causing their death. Trichoderma fungus Larva killed by NP Virus NextPrevious End

6 Integrated Pest Management in Banana Bio-Pesticides Bio-pesticides are certain types of pesticides derived from natural material such as animals, plants, bacteria, and certain minerals. Bio-pesticides fall into three major classes. Many bio-pesticides are less toxic and pose a lower risk than conventional pesticides which can be quite toxic. NextPrevious End

7 Integrated Pest Management in Banana Bio-Pesticides 1. Microbial pesticides consist of a microorganism (e.g., a bacterium, fungus, virus or protozoan) as the active ingredient. Microbial pesticides can control many different kinds of pests, although each separate active ingredient is relatively specific for its target pest[s]. NextPrevious End

8 Integrated Pest Management in Banana Bio-Pesticides 2. The most widely used microbial pesticides are subspecies and strains of Bacillus thuringiensis, or Bt. Some Bt's control moth larvae found on plants, Each strain of this bacterium produces a different mix of proteins, and specifically kills one or a few related species of insect larvae. NextPrevious End

9 Integrated Pest Management in Banana Bio-Pesticides 3. Plant-Incorporated-Protectants (PIPs) are pesticidal substances that plants produce from genetic material that has been added to the plant. For example, scientists can take the gene for the Bt pesticidal protein, and introduce the gene into the plant's own genetic material. Then the plant, instead of the Bt bacterium, manufactures the substance that destroys the pest NextPrevious End

10 Integrated Pest Management in Banana Bio-Pesticides Biochemical pesticides are naturally occurring substances that control pests by non-toxic mechanisms. Conventional pesticides, by contrast, are generally synthetic material that directly kill or inactivate the pest. Advantages NextPrevious End

11 Integrated Pest Management in Banana Bio-Pesticides Biochemical pesticides include substances, such as insect sex pheromones, that interfere with mating, as well as various scented plant extracts that attract insect pests to traps. Bio-pesticides are usually inherently less toxic than conventional pesticides. Advantages NextPrevious End

12 Integrated Pest Management in Banana Bio-Pesticides Bio-pesticides generally affect only the target pest and closely related organisms, in contrast to broad spectrum, conventional pesticides that may affect organisms as different as birds, insects, and mammals. Bio-pesticides often are effective in very small quantities and often decompose quickly, thereby resulting in lower exposures and largely avoiding the pollution problems caused by conventional pesticides. Advantages NextPrevious End

13 Integrated Pest Management in Banana Bio-Pesticides When used as a component of Integrated Pest Management (IPM) programs, bio- pesticides can greatly decrease the use of conventional pesticides, while crop yields remain high. To use bio-pesticides effectively, however, users need to know a great deal about managing pests. Advantages NextPrevious End

14 Integrated Pest Management in Banana Bio-Pesticides Actinovate is a microbial pesticide registered for suppression of botrytis fruit rot and powdery mildew on banana in the field and greenhouse. The active ingredient in Actinovate is spores of Streptomyces lydicus, a naturally occurring bacterium commonly found in soil. NextPrevious End

15 Integrated Pest Management in Banana Bio-Pesticides Researchers think that this bacterium helps protect plants by growing over the plant surface, parasitizing fungal pathogens producing antibiotics detrimental to the fungal diseases. Before using this product in banana crop, consider whether suppression will be adequate in a commercial crop. NextPrevious End

16 Integrated Pest Management in Banana Bio-Pesticides Actinovate is a microbial pesticide registered for suppression of botrytis fruit rot and powdery mildew on banana in the field and greenhouse. Applications should begin when conditions favor disease development. NextPrevious End

17 Integrated Pest Management in Banana Bio-Pesticides Repeat Actinovate application in 7 to 14 days interval. Use spray mixture of Actinovate within 4 hours of its preparation. Store Actinovate at room temperature (21-26°C), but should not be frozen or exposed to very high temperatures. NextPrevious End

18 Integrated Pest Management in Banana Bio-Pesticides Actinovate contains live bacteria and should not be used with bactericides. Always leave an untreated plot to evaluate the efficacy of Actinovate. NextPrevious End

19 Integrated Pest Management in Banana Bio-Pesticides Serenade products (Serenade ASO, Serenade MAX) are registered for the suppression of a variety of diseases on fruit crops. The active ingredient is Bacillus subtilis, which colonizes plant parts and helps prevent disease microorganisms from becoming established. NextPrevious End

20 Integrated Pest Management in Banana Bio-Pesticides Serenade products may not provide complete control and should be used as part of an integrated disease suppression program, which includes cultural controls and other tactics. So, consider whether suppression will be adequate in a commercial crop before using these products. NextPrevious End

21 Integrated Pest Management in Banana Bio-Pesticides Serenade is most effective when applied during the early stages of disease development. Rotate this product with other fungicides when conditions are conducive to heavy disease pressure. End
