CHARACTERISTICS:
ORDER: Orthoptera
RICE (CORYZA SATIVA) is grown either a transplanted crop.
In puddled soils. As a drilled on.
UNPUDDLED SOILS or as a brood casted crop or puddled.
UNDDLED SOIL the growth of the crop is bound to very wing to its
method of planting.
CULTURAL PRACTICES
RAINFALL
o medium- high or irrigate rice does not drought it needs either
abounding rainfall effective irrigation
SEASON
o as a approach to rice cultivation in the region
o In tropical are at with two cropping seasons per year. Select one season
per one year for characterisation usually the season that stalks while
days are growing longer.
o Long duration varieties will extend in to the second season (using one
fixed season each year imposes consistency between trials.)

Cucumbers grow rapidly optimum environmental conditions and fruit
production raging 60-70 days after seeding for production a
temperature range of 24-27 C (75-80 F). During the day desirable
while peak day time temperatures 20-25 C (85-90 F) are tolerable
prolonged periods of high temperatures may adversely affect fruit
quality growth rate and earliest fruit production.

Introduction:
Insects are dominant life form on earth; millions may exist in a single
area of land. About one millions have been described and there may be as
many yet to be identified insects are extraordinary. Adopt table creatures
having evolved to live successfully in the most environments on earth
including desert and the Antarctic. The only place where insects are not
commonly found is the oceans, if they are not physically equipped to live in a
stressful environment; insects have adopted behaviours to avoid such
stresses.
EXERCISE II
The implication is that insects with long term association with the host
plant species have the genetic plasticity to overcome defence strategies of the
host plant. That is resistance in plants that evolve with an insect pest.
Resistance varieties can be effective defence against insect pests. But even
when insect resistance cultivars are not available. Some varieties may be less
attractive species or may tolerate more changes than others.
LADY BUG
CHARASTERISTICS:
Lady Bug is widespread family of small bugs ranging from 0.8 to 10mm
they are commonly yellow, orange blocks spots colour patterns vary
greatly diffend into wing case.

PRAYING MANTIS
CHARASTERISTIC:
One of the most notable features of Carolina Mantis is their wings only
extend about of the way down the abdomen. Markings, the European
mantis is also distinguished as the only three species that bears a black-
ringed spot beneath its fore coxae. They eat other insects by holding them in
its raised front legs.
CRICKETS
CHARASTERISTIC
CRICKETS of the family gryllidae, are insects related to bush crickets and more
distantly to grasshopper. The gryllidae have mainly cylindrical bodies, round heads
and long antennae. Behind the head is smooth robust protonum.
