Subject Groundnut
 
Description Groundnut (Arachis hypogaea) is an important crop in
South Vietnam covering more than 125,000 ha under
different cropping systems. Crop surveys, and the onfarm
research organized in Trang Bang, Cuchi, Duc Hoa
and Go Dau during the past (until 2000), brought out the
importance of the foliage feeding insect pests (Spodoptera,
Helicoverpa) as economically important in farmers’ fields
(Ranga Rao 1995). Field visits during the last week of
May 2004 and interactions with the farmers in Tra Vinh
province, villages around Cau Ngang town revealed the
occurrence and importance of white grubs in this region.
This soil-inhabiting pest is a menace in this area, which is
in the heart of Mekong delta mostly covered by irrigated
rice (Oryza sativa) cultivation with multiple cropping
system.
