Abstract
The purpose of this research was to study on the implement of Metarhizium anisopliae (isolate MRT-PCH 048) to control brown planthopper in irrigated rice field and transferred to farmers at Rang Nok subdistrict, Sam Ngam district, Phichit province using training program integrated with demonstration trials. The result reveled that farmers grained more knowledge and understanding on the use of MRT-PCH 048 to control brown planthopper including the monitoring insect pests and natural enemies, the use of natural enemies in rice paddy field, mass culture MRT-PCH 048, and cost-profit analysis of using natural enemies to control brown planthpper comparing to insecticides. The satisfactory of farmer on the use of MRT-PCH 048 to control brown planthopper was significantly depended on education, areas used to apply microorganisms to control pests, and age of farmers.
