  • Output 1 - Cost-effective, trapping system suitable for use in mass trapping by smallholder rice cultivators in Bangladesh developed.
  • Output 2 - Social economics of rice cultivation in Bangladesh and effect of ICM strategy on rice cultivation on farmer attitudes understood.
  • Output 3 - Impact on rice crop of incorporating mass trapping, for control of YSB, as a component of the Syngenta ICM programme in Bangladesh assessed.
