Kim, K.W. 2000 [Non-chemical or low-chemical control measures against key insect pests and rats in the ginseng fields].. Korean Journal of Applied Entomology 39(4): 281-286.

Notes: Non-chemical or low-chemical control measures against key insect pests and rats in the ginseng field were studied from 1993 to 1999, in Suwon, Korea Republic. Application of chemicals in ginseng fields during oviposition had similar control effects on the Korean black chafer, Holotrichia diomphalia adults. Ginseng damage by the African mole cricket, Gryllotalpa africana adults were reduced considerably by application chemicals beside the ginseng field. The larvae of wheat wireworm, Ectinus sericeus, were attracted to potatoes in the ginseng field. The spread of the mealybug, Pseudococcus comstocki, was very slow in the ginseng field, indicating that it is possible to eradicate the early colonies effectively. The rat repeller, Dekur 500S showed a significant control effect of rats in the ginseng field.
