Pests

SPREP presents these guidelines for undertaking rapid biodiversity assessments in its Pacific island member countries and territories: Micronesia, Melanesia, and Polynesia. These assessments are referred to as BIORAPs. The guidelines are recommended to be used by SPREP members for the planning and implementation of terrestrial and marine BIORAP surveys, and subsequent monitoring of important sites. 

The paper reports the insect and mite pests recorded and documented during 1948 and 2003 from the vegetable crops (brinjal, potato, sweet potato, aroids, yams, cabbage, cauliflower, knolkhol, radish, turnip, lady's finger, tomato, cucurbits, beans, kangkong, lettuce and amaranthus) ecosystems from Bangladesh.
