Abstract

This study generated valuable data on the population dynamics of pests and disease over seasonal months from 2012 to 2022 with the aid of applied information and communication technology tools. The population dynamics of the leaf miner revealed that the infestation usually starts in July and continues until October, with two peaks in August and September. Results, further revealed that the bark-eating caterpillar showed peak infestation in September - October.
