Abstract
Groundnut (Arachis hypogaea) is an important crop in South Vietnam covering more than 125,000 ha under different cropping systems. Crop surveys, and the onfarm research organized in Trang Bang, Cuchi, Duc Hoa and Go Dau during the past (until 2000), brought out the importance of the foliage feeding insect pests (Spodoptera, Helicoverpa) as economically important in farmers’ fields (Ranga Rao 1995). Field visits during the last week of May 2004 and interactions with the farmers in Tra Vinh province, villages around Cau Ngang town revealed the occurrence and importance of white grubs in this region. This soil-inhabiting pest is a menace in this area, which is in the heart of Mekong delta mostly covered by irrigated rice (Oryza sativa) cultivation with multiple cropping system.
