... In parts of both Indonesia and Malaysia where overlapping cropping patterns were considered to be a major cause of RTVD, more synchronous planting has been promoted as an important component of the tungro management strategy (Sama et al., 1991;Chen & Jatil, 1997). Avoidance of late planting relative to other fields (which increases synchrony) is one of the main components of RTVD management currently being promoted (Chancellor, 1997). There is little understanding of the potential impact of changes in cropping synchrony on RTVD. ...

... Farmers' perceptions, knowledge, and control practices of RTD RTD is considered as the most important factor limiting rice production by most farmers in endemic areas. Survey information from 658 farmers in five RTD-endemic and RTD-nonendemic provinces (Albay, Davao del Norte, Davao del Sur, North Cotabato, and Laguna) during 1995-97 showed that most farmers had experienced the RTD problem and could recognize symptoms of RTD (Warburton et al 1996volume). Only a few farmers (8%), however, were aware that GLH is the vector of RTD. ...

... Pest management practices, including pesticide applications, reflect the farmers' perceptions of pests (Heong, Escalada, & Lazaro, 1995; Fajardo et al., 2000). Such perceptions include the presence and degree of pest infestations (Warburton et al., 1995). Most pesticides used in the Philippines are classified by the World Health Organization as extremely and moderately hazardous (Pingali et al., 1994; Palis et al., 2006, Warburton, Palis, & Pingali, 1995). ...

... The absence of symptoms during the early stages of disease development is a constraint on tungro treatment (Gnanamanickam 2009). Given the serious damage that it causes and the difficulties in controlling RTD, many farmers in South and Southeast Asia refer to it as a 'cancer' disease (Warburton et al. 1997;Azzam and Chancellor 2002;Daud et al. 2013). ...

... However, only 2% of these farmers are aware that the disease is transmitted by whiteflies, while 86% of them know that it is caused by high temperatures. Almost 90% of farmers are aware of the use of pesticides against tomato yellow leaf curl virus (TYLCV) (Nagaraju et al., 2002). An interview-based survey on farmers regarding sweet potato virus disease (SPDV) revealed that the majority of them (53.6%) ...
