Abstract
Rice pest problems are complex. The level of pest attack and damage, and the way in which rice farmers deal with them are determined by a range of factors, including ecological and technical features of the crop and control methods, and social, economic, and institutional features of the farm and region (Fig. 10.1) If we are to understand how pest problems arise and how they should best be tackled, a systems view, that accounts for all these various components, is required.
